From Under The Sun

Berlin composer Maya Shenfeld’s music exists in liminal spaces, collapsing the boundaries between electronic synthesis and organic sound as it draws equally from classical tradition and underground experimentalism. Her output ranges from site-specific sound installations to works for new music ensembles and playing guitar in punk bands. Her debut solo record In Free Fall merges the grand vision of orchestral music with the granularity and intimacy of deep listening, exploring a tension between structured compositional architecture and the sheer joy of noise, grain and feedback.
