Manners McDade Welcomes Sarah Davachi
Sarah Davachi was born in Calgary, Canada and now is based in Los
Angeles, USA where she is studying for an PhD in Musicology at UCLA. She works with a wide
range of instruments including electric organ, pipe and reed organ, piano,
tape-replay samplers, analog synthesizers, voice, early Western strings and
keyboards and orchestral strings, brass and woodwind to create a distinctive
sound world of slow moving harmonies and sparse textures displaying
influences of 1970s minimalism and the renaissance and baroque.
As well as her extensive recorded output, Sarah has toured and performed with Grouper, William Basinski, Ariel Kalma, the Bozzini Quartet, the London Contemporary Orchestra, Oren Ambarchi, Donald Buchla, Thom Yorke, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Jessica Moss, Áine O’Dwyer, Alessandro Cortini, Ian William Craig, Kara-lis Coverdale, Aaron Dilloway, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Ellen Arkbro, Loren Connors and filmmaker Paul Clipson.
Sarah’s most recent album ‘Cantus, Descant’ was released in September on her Late Music label, a division of Warp Records.
The Manners McDade group of companies provide composer management, music publishing, sync and creative services, specialising in new classical and electronic music and we are delighted to welcome Sarah Davachi. Jenna Fentimen, head of creative at Manners McDade, says “We are so proud to be working with Sarah, who is such a prolific shining light in the ambient and electoacoustic space. Her music is food for the soul; patient, calming and addictively textured. We can’t wait for all that is to come!”
