Martyna Basta pres. Winged in Collapse + Ange Halliwell
silent green presents
Martyna Basta
Martyna Basta is a Polish composer, producer, and singer-songwriter whose work resides at the intersection of art-pop, chamber folk, and electroacoustic composition. Coming from a background of classical guitar, she turned away from the rigidity of classical music education and shifted her practice towards electronics. Working with reworked field recordings and instrumental samples, she crafts a sonic diary.
Her music weaves eerie vocals and haunting songwriting with granular electronics into an intimate world. The diaristic sits at the centre of her process, drawing on themes of vulnerability, memory, and longing. Starting from heavily-processed recordings of her own playing – zither, harpsichord, guitar, and more – she develops a tactile sonic language that feels fragile, precise, and deeply personal, drawing as much from the emotional intensity of shoegaze as from the delicate ornamentation of baroque music.
With performances at CTM, Unsound, and Cafe OTO, and international recognition from Pitchfork, Dazed, The Wire, and curator Margeaux Labat, she has established herself as a singular voice, merging pop-adjacent emotion with a refined and deeply personal sonic palette. Collaboration forms a central thread in her practice: her new album features james K, LEYA, Rainy Miller, and Felisha Ledesma, following earlier work with claire rousay, Pavel Milyakov, and Jonathan Bepler.
Ange Halliwell
Ange Halliwell began playing the harp at the age of 12. Raised in the lush countryside of southwest France, he composes music that brings together hypnotic arpeggios, layered soundscapes, and voices that are sung, spoken, or screamed.
His work is deeply connected to nature, drawing from a wide range of influences: traditional music, lyricism, and horror. From these, he develops a distinctive artistic language in which sonic, visual, and atmospheric layers intertwine.
Ange Halliwell crafts a musical and visual universe that is both luminous and melancholic.
