Creator, Performer (individual), Project management/Production
Sonia Killmann is a soundartistand saxophone player from Belgium, currently completing a postgraduate degree in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Inspired by composers such James Tenney and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, she has been exploring the various ways in which sound can be perceived. After taking part in a sound workshop in lead by Edu Comelles (Audiotalia) in 2018, she started mainly focussing on field recordings. In addition, she is a committee member of the non-profit festival organisation Sound Thought and has also been an active member of the Tinderbox Collective. Sonia is also interested in the conjunction of movement and sound. This sparked some collaborations with Scottish Ballet dancers and filmmakers on some of her electronic compositions. She also enjoys working with other instrumentalists, with a focus on improvisation. Outside of the COVID-19 lockdown, Sonia’s main project is her ambient saxophone and bass duo Failed System Test.
