A Special Seated Show with
ML BUCH
ML Buch is Marie Louise Buch, a Copenhagen-based composer, producer, guitarist and vocalist. Following the EP ‘Fleshy’ in 2017 she released her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Skinned’ on Danish imprint Anyines in 2020. ‘Suntub’ is her second full length release, a double album consisting of 15 tracks, which was released in October 2023 on 15 love.
In her compositional practice ML Buch sketches up her music in an almost architectural way. The raw material is generated through immersion in playing and assembling as a way of triggering random magic. Her live performances, both in solo and group formations, is reflective of her love of combining 7-string electric guitars in open tunings with synthetic instruments and electronic experiments. ML Buch has performed at the likes of Pitchfork Paris Avant-Garde, Roskilde Festival, Fuchsbau Arts Festival, and the sound and vision programme at CPH:DOX, as well as performing as part of Laurie Anderson’s Talking Choir project. ML Buch has done commissioned work with poet Ingvild Lothe and contributed to releases by artists like CTM, Jura and Astrid Sonne, with whom she’s also performed live.
