sOnic alchemy is the collaborative project of Sofia Borges and Klaus Janek, exploring the transitional space between acoustic sources and its electroacoustic manipulation. Conceived on paper and brought to life on stage, their work sees both instrumentalists expanding their creativity through extended techniques and electronic processing. This transformation of acoustic identities generates a realm where projection and imagination offer alternative temporalities. Together, they form abstract, evocative soundscapes that challenge preconceived notions of music, inviting listeners to become active participants in a sonic narrative.

Ponder Reflections is a compelling statement from the Berlin-based duo: The record channels their practice in electroacoustic settings into a singular collaborative vision, built upon a foundation of extended techniques. Their individual contributions weave into an inseparable
tapestry, establishing oneiric yet urgent landscapes where the source of each sound remains ambiguous. While both artists have an extensive body of solo work that fuses acoustic and electronic elements, this project reveals their unique synergy. Their organic interplay dissolves the boundaries between musician and machine, achieving a unity born not from simple merger, but from a continuous process of mutual augmentation. The two performers resonate with one another, sharing a realm of active contemplation in a deliberate process of intertwined reflection that extends beyond the purely musical.
