About
Sofie Birch is an ambient multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and sound magician whose music bridges the seen and unknown realms. Her compositions unfold like dreamscapes, inviting deep introspection and connection with the subconscious. With a profound understanding of sound as a transformative essence, she improvises immersive, meditative performances that lead listeners into altered states of awareness.
Her work is an intricate web of electronic textures, acoustic instruments, field recordings, and the embrace of her voice, creating harmonious yet layered musical landscapes. Sofie’s live performances are more than concerts—they are ritualistic journeys, often accompanied by scenographic elements and costumes that merge sound and space into a holistic, sensory experience.
In 2022, she released Holotropica, a solo album resonating with healing frequencies and deep organic flow, and Languoria, a collaboration with Polish vocalist Antonina Nowacka which explores the liminal space between voice and silence. Both albums received widespread international acclaim.
Sofie has performed at renowned festivals such as CTM, CPH:DOX, and Unsound, and in venues like The Barbican and King’s Place with Laura Misch. Her work extends beyond the stage, finding its way into award-winning art installations, animated films, and sonic environments.
Beyond Sofie’s recordings and performances lies a deep reverence for sound and vibration as healing forces. She is a certified sound healer through Amsterdam-based Stacey Griffin and has facilitated immersive sound ceremonies, including collaborations with sound practitioner Rosángela Acosta at Shamballa Space in Copenhagen.
From producer to co-producer, Sofie infused Otooto’s 2024 album, 2nd Quake, with her instinctual direction. Her ability to mix rich sonic soundscapes stems from a fusion of technical expertise, self-taught exploration, and a formal education in sound design from Sonic College at University College South, Denmark.
She also curates Ambient Abracadabra, a monthly sonic exploration aired on NTS Radio, offering listeners a gateway into ethereal, liminal soundscapes. In 2024, she performed at Casa Montjuïc in Barcelona, the Intonal Festival, and the Munch Museet in Oslo alongside Alabaster DePlume.
Sofie aims to continue expanding her aural universe of sound and spirit into the collective.
