Bar Laika presents Playback 0031 with Chloe Alexandra Thompson

Join us at Bar Laika on Wednesday, April 22nd from 6pm for the thirty-first of Playback with Chloe Alexandra Thompson.

 

Chloe Alexandra Thompson is a Cree interdisciplinary artist and composer working with sound as a relational medium. Her work explores listening as an embodied practice, where tone, texture, and resonance shape perception beyond fixed narrative. 

Her recordings utilize field recording, synthesis, and psychoacoustic techniques often unfolding as durational environments. Through this approach, she treats sound as both material and method, capable of holding memory, disrupting linear time, and creating space for reflection and attunement. Her work, which moves between ambient, experimental music, noise and sound art privileges atmosphere, fragmentation, and intimacy.

For this edition of Playback at Bar Laika, she presents past releases (including SIGE, Luminous Drift, Beacon Sound, Soundsetal, Blankstairs) and forthcoming works from an ongoing body of work that considers sound as a site of relation, listening into fragments, absence, and return as compositional form.
