Sandra Boss

Denmark

Sandra Boss (DK) is a composer who manifests the familiar in new and surprising ways. She works with home-built extensions and expansions of the classical instruments, and the organ has especially taken on a distinctive role in her practice. She has made works for church organs, reed organs, electronic organs and for home-built MIDI-controlled organs. What these works have in common is that they bend a musical reality in ways that were not thought possible. Her tightly shaped works are not easy to categorize, but arise as particularly attractive and distinctive musical sound universes.

Sandra Boss has a background in classical music and later studied electronic music at The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark. In 2019 she finished an artistic-based PhD on sound art from The University of Aarhus, Denmark. She has performed at numerous international venues including KRAAK Festival (Be), Detritus Festival (GR), Super Deluxe (JP), Klangkunst Festival (DE) and LAK – Festival for Nordic Sound Art (DK).
