Jessica Sligter’s work mixes crooner and experimental musics in a 'noir' conceptual space. Austere abstract electronics are juxtaposed with a dramatic expression reminiscent of operette. With connection to Robert Ashley, Eliane Radigue, Anne Gillis and Scott Walker, Sligter operates in a dark, charged, and solidly arranged sound world.
Sligter’s album ‘A Sense Of Growth’ (Hubro, 2016) went straight to the top of The Wire’s top ten albums of the year list and got glaring reviews from Uncut, Mojo magazine, and more. ‘Polycrisis:yes!’ (Butler & Butler, 2018) takes a critical look at the current political landscape and the broken European dream, in a dystopic sound world.
In addition to making records, Sligter writes commissioned pieces for ensembles and is artistic director of Nuts And Bolts, association creating projects by people from underrepresented demographics in music technology.
