Sáof 2024
Sáof is an electronic and electroacoustic project by Liza Kuzyakova, a Moscow-born composer and artist now based in the Netherlands. Her work interlaces multichannel electroacoustic composition with live performance and explores the tension between sound, space, and materiality, drawing inspiration from experimental theatre. Sáof’s musical output links atmospheres that balance between the dramatic intensity and subtle trembling of textures. Sáof began with roots in drone, noise, and power electronics, embracing the extremes of sound and a chaotic atmosphere full of friction and uncertainty. Over time, the project has evolved into a genre-fluid exploration, merging screeching electronics, dynamic sonic environments, and fractured instrumental tones to evoke rich imaginative experiences and surreal sonic narratives.
Sáof has released her music on Unheard Records, a label from LA, and has performed in a variety of venues in the Netherlands, Germany, Latvia, Israel, and Russia.
