BIO
Abigail Toll is a sound artist and composer producing minimalist and drone-based electroacoustic and chamber music.

Her practice spans solo, ensemble and collaborative performances as well as sculptural, multichannel installations and artistic research. These formats bring psychoacoustics, tuning and tonal deviations into focus as prismatic deep-listening environments. She is currently researching quantum poetics and how sound persists through the resonant frequencies of architectural sites and landscapes. These frequencies in turn form the basis of her tuning systems.

Toll’s second studio album ‘Idol’ (rel. Superpang, 2025) was accompanied by a multichannel, audioreactive installation ‘Lick the walls to understand echoes’ in collaboration with media artist Anton Filatov. The live performance of ‘Idol’ is also presented solo or in collaboration with Filatov’s audioreactive lighting design.

Toll’s music was recently included on a BBC Late Junction mixtape curated by Japanese electronic legend, Nobekazu Takemura and has been nominated for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik 2025. Her work has been presented internationally at cultural centres, DIY venues and festivals including Heart of Noise – The Ferdinandeum: Tyrolean State Museum (AU), GMEA (FR), Suoni per il Popolo Festival, Montreal (CA), l’Ancienne Belgique (BEL), Kunsthalle Gent (BEL), Gibanja, Kontejner (CR), Pawilon (PL), UT Connewitz (DE) and Volksbuehne (DE). Her debut record ‘Matrices of Vision’ (rel. Shelter Press, 2023) premiered by KW Institute of Contemporary Art at the Klosterruine as an ensemble performance, featuring Rebecca Lane, Lucy Railton, and Evelyn Saylor.

Toll holds an MA in Electroacoustic Composition from the KMH–Royal College of Music, Stockholm and is the recipient of numerous scholarships, including: Initiative Musik, the Royal Music Academy Stipendium, KodaKultur, Helge Axson Johnsons Stiftels, Carl Erik Levins Stifelse and Music Board Berlin.

Residencies include Amplify Berlin under the direction of composer Caterina Barbieri, ZK/U Berlin – Center for Art and Urbanistics, tekhnē and Haus der Kulturen der Welt, among others.

BIO
Abigail Toll has carved out a distinctive space in contemporary drone and electroacoustic composition. Rooted in early training in voice and classical flute, her practice mobilizes resonance and tuning to probe trance states and structures of power, translating these inquiries into archival, field research and hypnotic, minimalist works that undulate between solo and chamber ensemble performances and sculptural installations.

Toll’s debut studio album Matrices of Vision (Shelter Press, 2023) was presented as an ensemble commission by KW Institute of Contemporary Art, and performed at the Klosterruine by Rebecca Lane, Lucy Railton, and Evelyn Saylor. Her second studio album Idol (Superpang, 2025), nominated for the German Record Critic’s Prize, was accompanied by Lick the Walls to Understand Echoes, a new audioreactive installation commissioned by HOLON Berlin, developed in collaboration with media artist Anton Filatov.  

Toll’s music was recently included on a BBC Late Junction mixtape curated by Japanese electronic legend, Nobekazu Takemura. Her work has been presented internationally at cultural centres, DIY venues and festivals including Heart of Noise – The Ferdinandeum: Tyrolean State Museum (AU), GMEA (FR), Suoni per il Popolo Festival, Montreal (CA), l’Ancienne Belgique (BEL), Kunsthal Gent (BEL), Gibanja, Kontejner (CR), Pawilon (PL), UT Connewitz (DE) and Volksbuehne (DE) among others.

Residencies include Amplify Berlin under the direction of composer Caterina Barbieri, ZK/U Berlin – Center for Art and Urbanistics, tekhnē (GMEA). Upcoming engagements include residencies at EMS-Elektronmusikstudion, Stockholm and ZKM, Karlsruhe and conferences at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna and for tekhnē at Trafo, Szczecin.
