Astrid Sonne

About

Astrid Sonne is a Danish composer and electronic musician whose work exists in the liminal space between intimacy and abstraction. With a background in classical viola and a penchant for experimental soundscapes, Sonne crafts music that feels both deeply personal and expansively universal. Her sound is a delicate fusion of ambient textures, glitchy beats, and haunting melodies, drawing comparisons to artists like Laurel Halo and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. Yet, her work is distinctly her own—a sonic exploration of human connection in the digital age. Sonne’s career began to gain traction with her 2018 debut album, *Human Lines*, which showcased her ability to blend acoustic instrumentation with electronic experimentation. Her follow-up, *Cliodynamics* (2021), further solidified her reputation as a boundary-pushing artist, earning critical acclaim for its intricate compositions and emotional depth. Breakthrough moments include performances at renowned festivals like Roskilde and support slots for artists such as Jenny Hval, which introduced her to wider audiences. Culturally, Sonne’s music resonates as a reflection of contemporary anxieties and desires, often exploring themes of isolation and technology. Her unique artistic identity lies in her ability to balance vulnerability with technical precision, creating works that feel both cerebral and visceral. Notable collaborations include work with Danish experimental collective Eget Værelse and contributions to multimedia art projects. Recently, Sonne has been working on new material, teasing a more immersive and cinematic direction. Her latest releases continue to push the boundaries of electronic music, cementing her as one of Scandinavia’s most exciting avant-garde voices.
