Chloë Sobek, solo for violone (Renaissance double bass)

Working primarily with the Renaissance violone, Chloë Sobek treats the instrument as a site of material resistance and historical continuity: a sounding body through which traces of the past are reactivated in the present. Layering archival fragments, environmental sound, improvisation and extended string techniques, Sobek combines maximalist intensity with an attention to material thresholds, pushing sound and instrument toward points of ‘breakage’ where presence begins to fracture, recede and persist as trace.
