An interdisciplinary ensemble featuring computer musician, graphic artist and composer Marion Wörle and composer and guitarist Maciej Sledzieck, gamut inc is dedicated to electro-acoustic music, innovative music theatre and automated pipe organs. Founded in Berlin in 2013, the ensemble sets thematic priorities with its own productions, stages music theatre and organizes concerts and festivals. Since 2019, they have been directing the worldwide touring concert series and festival AGGREGATE, which is dedicated to computer-controlled pipe organs in churches and concert halls. The annual festival makes guest appearances at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the Auenkirche and the Chapel of Reconciliation Berlin.

A double CD with a selection of works from their festival AGGREGATE will be released on WERGO in 2023. In September 2023, their music theatre ZEROTH LAW, a collaboration with the prestigious RIAS Chamber Choir and the LOGOS robot orchestera will premiere at Deutsche Oper Berlin. Intensive, scenic-musical performances negotiate mechanisation in a social context. Their new album SUM TO INFINITY with new works for gamut inc’s music machines and synthesizers was released on MORPHINE Records in 2023.

Sarah Davachi is a composer and performer whose work is concerned with the close intricacies of timbral and temporal space, utilizing extended durations and considered harmonic structures that emphasize gradual variations in texture, overtone complexity, psychoacoustic phenomena, and tuning and intonation.  Her compositions span solo, chamber ensemble, and acousmatic formats, incorporating a wide range of acoustic and electronic instrumentation.  Similarly informed by minimalist and longform tenets, early music concepts of form, affect, and intervallic harmony, as well as experimental production practices of the studio environment, in her sound is an intimate and patient experience that lessens perceptions of the familiar and the distant.

In addition to her acclaimed recorded output, Sarah Davachi has toured extensively alongside artists such as Ellen Arkbro, Oren Ambarchi, Grouper, William Basinski, Catherine Lamb, Aaron Dilloway, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Michael Pisaro, Loren Connors, Tashi Wada, David Rosenboom, Charlemagne Palestine, Arnold Dreyblatt, and filmmaker Dicky Bahto.  Commissioned projects include large-scale works for Quatuor Bozzini, London Contemporary Orchestra, Yarn/Wire, Apartment House, Wild Up, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Radio France, Contemporaneous Ensemble, Cello Octet Amsterdam, Bonner Kunstverein, Canadian International Organ Competition, and Western Front New Music.  Her work has been presented internationally by Southbank Centre (London UK), Barbican Centre (London UK), Kontraklang (Berlin DE), Ina GRM (Paris FR), Issue Project Room (New York USA), Lampo (Chicago USA), among others. In 2020 she founded Late Music, an imprint within the partner labels division of Warp Records.

Between 2007 and 2017, Davachi had the unique opportunity to work for the National Music Centre in Canada as an interpreter and content developer of their collection of acoustic and electronic keyboard instruments.  She has held artist residencies with The Banff Centre for the Arts, Quatuor Bozzini’s Composer’s Kitchen, STEIM, Elektronmusikstudion, OBORO Montréal, the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio, the National Music Centre, and the Swiss Museum & Center for Electronic Music Instruments, and holds a master’s degree in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in Oakland, California. Davachi is currently a doctoral candidate in musicology at UCLA, focusing on timbre, phenomenology, and critical organology, and is based in Los Angeles, California.
