About SØSTR

Songwriting, and specifically using the voice to sing, is rooted in a human need to pass on stories and embody emotional content in the form of sounds produced. Sound reaches us from every direction, passes through the listener's ears, ceases to be a physical phenomenon and becomes a product of human cognition and emotion – it becomes psychoacoustics.

Since recording technologies became available for wider use approximately 100 years ago, music has been ‘frozen’ in one or two dimensions (mono / stereo). Recent technological advances have now allowed for spatial music to be digitally distributed to a wider audience. Spatialization in live music has particularly played a role in an electro-acoustic and avant-garde tradition while there’s very little experience with spatialization in a rock/pop songwriting context.

SØSTR is wondering if adding more dimensions (spatial audio technologies) can enhance and advance the psychoacoustic phenomena inherent in songwriting? Through Voicing Spatial Songs, they take up the challenge posed by spatial audio technologies, to produce, create and develop new music and methods for working in this expressive medium in a songwriting context.

SØSTR is a duo consisting of sisters Louise Foo and Sharin Foo. They will be releasing their debut EP co-produced by Lasse Martinussen on Crunchy Frog Recordings in the fall of 2022. Their music can be described as avant-pop founded in traditional lyric-based songwriting. The core of their collaboration is singing together.
