IN FREE FALL (CLEAR VINYL)

Berlin composer Maya Shenfeld's music is as powerfully evocative as it is strikingly intimate. Through a mastery of sound sculpting and a visionary approach to composition, Shenfeld has established herself as one of the most vital voices in Berlin's New Music scene. Her work exists in liminal spaces, collapsing the boundaries between electronic synthesis and organic sound as it draws equally from classical tradition and underground experimentalism. Each aspect of her output, from site-specific sound installations to works for new music ensembles and even playing guitar in punk bands, combines an astute technical prowess with an authentic, tangible expression of soul. Shenfeld's 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 immaculately structured compositional architecture and the sheer joy of noise, grain, and feedback.
