SOCCER COMMITTEE

Growing up in the countryside soccer Committee spent hours and hours listening to the enchanting sounds of the river running by her house. At an early age she was already making up songs to sing herself to sleep at night, but she only really got started after discovering the guitar to accompany her voice.

Maintaining this early developed sense of wonder soccer Committee likes the act of endlessly zooming in on a particular sound; to try and follow its path to the point where it becomes totally inaudible. This attitude towards sound and music becomes clear when listening to one of soccer Committee's extremely detailed songs. These songs are like little music boxes, each one bravely capturing moments or events that would normally escape one's attention. 

Often driven by only a few notes, carefully placed against a backdrop of quiet colours, soccer Committee's little sound-creatures sometimes remind one of the openness and seeming randomness of Webern's later works while the richness of her guitar notes seems to be borrowed from a particularly subtle and electrifying performance by the late Derek Bailey. 

Weaving silence, guitar and vocals together in an immaculate celebration of colliding overtones soccer Committee found a voice that can truly be called her own. One which is capable of leaving any audience in utter amazement.
