Layne

Layne composes field recordings, abstract auditory textures, and rhythmic concrète churns into a hypnotic aural terrain reminiscent of the inceptive work from her seminal female forebears in experimental electronics. Recently released on Karl O’Connor’s Downwards Records, she displays her proficiency in creating a vast soundscape and spatial atmosphere. In the past years she has been working with the legendary Suzanne Ciani and she herself says that the time spent together has helped to develop her ear for sound and a deeper sense of listening. Layne’s instrument of choice is a Buchla synthesizer and she will be presenting a new live set at Kontaktor.
