ASTRID SONNE
Mingle among the clouds, inside the Greenhouse, for an extraordinary evening with Danish pop/electronic artist Astrid Sonne.
Once solely a classically-trained musician, the London-based Sonne arrives in New York City to perform her own brand of unique songcraft—using synths, Moog, chordophones, and vocals to create different moods. Her sound has garnered many critical accolades, with solid reviews of Great Doubt, her latest LP, in the Guardian and on Pitchfork.
The viola, a trusted companion since Astrid Sonne’s youth, appears effortlessly throughout the album, fully integrated into the sonic universe; through a pizzicato driven arrangement in the poignant track “Almost” or along with booms and claps in mutated cinematic stabs during “Give my all”, paraphrasing Mariah Carey's 1997 ballad. Yet the string section also gives way to explorations of woodwinds, counterbalancing the bowed movements with digital brass and airy flutes. Finally, beats and detuned piano are fresh additions to the soundscape, cementing how Sonne’s practice is always evolving into new territories.
