sofi

Solo album released on Superpang label (July 2025), made in SuperCollider. Cello on track "manic memos" by Lumi Mannermaa. Hypergloss is a feeling that keeps coming back again and again and again. Hypergloss is poetry of frustration.

Collaborative album by duo CATPURSE (Hulda Ragnhildur Hjálmarsdóttir & Sofi), released on SØVN Records (November 2025, digital + cassette). A feminine journey through a single day at sea, where each encounter materialises into an auditory body. Pop culture echoes intertwine with collective human murmurs, where physical sensation of taste, smell and touch dissolves into deformed resonances. About the strange disconnection of being an observer in a fabricated paradise.

Experimental trio performance captured during an artist residency live concert at MeetFactory, Prague (June 2025). The trio questioned "how contemplative practices become commodified experiences to be consumed efficiently rather than embodied processes to be lived fully."

Live audiovisual performance within the decommissioned oil cisterns on Svanö in Ådalen (July 2025), with reverberation times extending up to 25 seconds. Conceptually drawn from the site's archaeological traces — remnants of historical landmarks, coastal geography, and industrial infrastructure. Utilises real-time feedback processing and resynthesis in SuperCollider, with sound generation directly controlling lighting via OSC. In collaboration with Ľubomír Slovinský.

Master's degree concert at Musiikkitalo Blackbox, Helsinki (June 2025). Performance of "objects in mirror are closer then they appear" — live SuperCollider and modular synthesisers spatialised across a 48-channel loudspeaker orchestra.

Live ambisonics composition performed at Musikprotokoll festival (October 2024, Graz, Austria). Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, offering a transformative perspective on moments of rupture, imperfection, and the ability to rebuild. The unpredictable cross-feedback strands foster a dialogue between performer, code (SuperCollider), and space — resulting in novel sonic, bodily, and kinetic experiences.

Solo album released on Riforma label (November 2024, digital + limited cassette of 50). AZE — an abstract domain evoking diverse responses and states of mindfulness — mirrors the intimate narrative of living between Tallinn, Riga, and Helsinki. Sonically it amplifies the smallest details through granular synthesis and code algorithms, or gets lost in feedback networks of muddier synthesisers and the crackles of vinyl samples. Traversing between improvisation and fixed media, AZE embraces duality and uncertainty.

Sound installation presented at Sound Manor 360, Ropaži, Latvia (June 2024). Delves into portraying the intimacy and harshness of natural environments. With a mirror as the centre point, the installation invites you to reflect and meditate whilst navigating personal associations within a sonic environment.

Album of works composed during 2022–2023, self-released. Exploring liminal spaces between perception and reality, shimmering at the edges of consciousness. Blends underwater recordings of Ross seal sirens with synthesised sounds, traumatic sound triggers, and elements inspired by Baltic mythology — offering glimpses into sonic environments both familiar and startlingly alien.

Live SuperCollider and modular synthesisers performance. Premiered at COMMUTE #5 festival, Tallinn (April 2023). 600 nm is the dominant wavelength of orange — symbolising the Sacred Chakra, evoking emotional flow and physical reactivity in an experimental meditative sound practice.

Live performance at Skaņu Mežs Festival, Latvia (September 2023). Duo project with sound artist Agita Reķe.
