Sara Wolff

Sara Wolff is a composer, songwriter and sound artist. Her practice explores listening and noisemaking as ways of connecting people to place, memory and one another. This takes the form of composition, songwriting, storytelling, community practice and skill-sharing, performance, and visual experimentation.

She leads Sound Pals, a regular guided listening walk exploring the sounds of Liverpool. She often shares her skills in listening and field recording both as a mentor and workshop facilitator, and has worked on immersive sound projects for Metal Culture and Liverpool Biennial. She has composed music for films such as Olive Pascha’s film Carrot Cake starring Niamh Cusack and The Gan-Finn by Louis Zillio.

Sara last released two songs with Lost Map Records, recorded with Mercury Prize-winning musician and producer Mike Lindsay. While her songwriting blends indie folk and art pop, her approach to composition often draws on folk music instrumentation and harmony, combining voice with found sounds and experimental electronics.
