These are selected live electronic works by Sonia Killmann, which feature live sampling, field recordings and synthesised sounds and saxophone.
WAVETBALE 2025
Live at Wavetable in 2025. This set explores the rhythmic attributes of Bat sounds (recorded in Aulus Les Bains during CAMP), which Sonia highlights by sending these sounds through a modular synthesiser. In this set, we hear live saxophone improvisations responding to these organic sounds, which are usually beyond the human range of hearing. This set was also performed at Vortex Jazz club for the Queer Jazz residency in London. Visuals by Shankar Saanthakumar.
