Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow
Sopraterra
Partially recorded at La Becque in 2024, Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow features seven compositions by Zurich-based duo Sopraterra, formed by Polish composer Magda Drozd and Italian artist Nicola Genovese. Their debut album transforms the traditional timbres of the saxophone and violin into hauntingly eerie electronic soundscapes. The name “Sopraterra” itself, translating to “above the earth” in Italian, evokes images of ancient ruins where only the upper parts remain visible, mirroring the duo’s exploration of sound landscapes that bridge the past and the future – a blend of antique melodies and obscure drones.
