The Copenhagen-based music collective SØNTH invites you to an evening featuring four artists from the Swedish, Icelandic, and Danish electronic music scenes. Expect ethereal soundscapes, aggressive beats, granular synthesis, and a space for reflection as Loljud, Rauður, ALOO, and Cecilie Penney each take the stage with their own live sets.
SØNTH is a feminist electronic music collective and record label curated by the artists Cecilie Penney and ALOO — a community dedicated to equality in the music industry through concerts and joint releases by and for femme, queer, and transgender artists. ttps://open.spotify.com/artist/2iYytJb6xMIoPBc1dwvPl1 https://www.instagram.com/sonthcollective/
Rauður (she/her) (eng: Red) is a moniker used by the electronic singer-songwriter and producer Auður Viðarsdóttir. She started out as a singer and keyboardist in the Icelandic indie band Nóra, but her first solo album, Semilunar, came out in 2019, receiving much praise by reviewers. She has since then performed at concerts and festivals around Europe and in Iceland. Rauður’s music blends layers of her own voice with a dense soundscape of samplers and drum machines, with lyrics that roam between dreams and reality – sometimes floating in turbulent seas or blowing around in a perpetual apocalypse, sometimes far out in space. Her compositions range from pop with soul and punk influences to EDM, and from there over to synth and piano ballads. At concerts, she performs either as an ambient electronic musician or a singer-songwriter with a piano, but most often as a combination of both. Her second album is scheduled for 2025. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XMwKElfhyc2xgMDMwaqvo?si=GHmJ5EuDSYmdQSlpNpu0Jw https://www.instagram.com/rauduraudur/
Loljud (she/her) has been compared to artists like Kate Bush, The Knife and Björk, and is recognized by her cross-artistic and unpredictable approach to electronic music. As a collector of sounds she sifts through the world with a butterfly net, catching water drops, radio static, and alarm clocks, among other things. Oljud (noise), which literally can be picked from her artist name, is both surprises that glimmer in the productions, but also conceptual building blocks that bring the story forward. Her live shows intertwine sound, movements and video, and when experiencing her performances, you get to use all your senses. In 2020, Loljud released her debut album, The Phases, a triptych divided into three EPs, through the label Synth Babes. Her second album, The Eons, inspired by Earth's geological eons and Hilma af Klint’s paintings The Ten Largest, will be released in four parts between 2023 and 2025. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4JPGki1LPeNqQukIYEJXVE?si=yeE81IiuRNql48ISLKOzjg https://www.instagram.com/loljud_/
Cecilie Penney (she/her) is a composer and visual artist working across sound, digital media, and installation art. Her work explores how societal structures affect the body and how empathy can be expressed in a world dominated by technological and bureaucratic systems. With a sound that combines elements of ambient, synthpop, and techno, she creates sound collages where vocal samples, granular synthesis, and drone bass blend together. Her compositions feel synthetic yet filled with imperfections, exploring the tension between the human voice and the possibilities and limitations of technology. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mm9GLh1hNZyqLoCeP9EcL?si=RCczWQ4HRd6iKYxpgiHFXw https://www.instagram.com/ceciliepenney/
ALOO (she/her) is the experimental electropop solo project of Danish composer and producer Sofie Søe. Drawing inspiration from Berlin's vibrant nightlife, ALOO creates a dark and captivating musical universe where themes of love and desire are given room to unfold. ALOO moves between hard-hitting, danceable tracks and grand ballads, with her delicate yet powerful vocals supported by carefully layered synthesizers, drum machines, and cinematic string arrang
