Laura Misch

Laura Misch is a South-London born saxophonist, singer-songwriter, electronic producer and field recordist.

Her current work interweaves her three main voices; saxophone, singing and synthesis, in new music which will be performed and released in 2025. Expanding her electro-acoustic palette and drawing from a lineage of female pioneers in electronic music, Laura has been developing a one-woman show which invites deep listening and contemplation through songs and sonic environments inspired by nature.

Earlier this year Laura released ‘Sample The Earth,’ an acoustic sister-album to her debut album ‘Sample The Sky,’ an ode to care, connection and listening to the natural world. She went on to perform at sold-out shows at EartH Hackney and Union Chapel and released a live concert film. Her debut album grew out of her previous self-produced EPs ‘Playground’ (2017) and ‘Lonely City’ (2019) with collaboration at its core. Laura opened up every aspect of the creative process to her South London community. Working with eco-social design studio Holobiont, she planted the album back in the environments it was inspired from, hosting ‘sound walks’ to invite deep listening through playing saxophone whilst walking in Sydenham Woods and an ambient saxophone ‘cloud bath’ held in a cavernous disused railway waiting room in Peckham, to soothe listeners’ nervous systems.

In recent years Laura has performed at genre spanning venues such as The Barbican, Berghain Kantine, Melkweg, Paradiso, Vega, Royal Albert Hall, Roundhouse, and festivals such as Rally, We Out Here, All Points East, Latitude, Womad, Eurosonic, SXSW, and the prestigious Montreux and North Sea Jazz Festivals.. She’s been consistently supported by BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 4 BBC Radio 2, as well as plays on NTS and Worldwide FM. She recently hosted a BBC Sounds ‘Music Life’ episode interviewing Suzanne Ciani and others on music, nature and technology. She’s been featured in publications such as Composer Magazine, The Line Of Best Fit, Nowness, The Guardian, The New York Times, Loud And Quiet, Crack, The Fader, Wonderland, Clash, Varsity, NME and The Quietus.
