BIO
Abigail Toll is a sound artist and composer producing drone-based electroacoustic and chamber music. From roots in voice and classical flute,  her practice now mobilizes resonance and tuning to probe trance-states and structures of power.  Her works are realised as solo, ensemble and collaborative performance as well as sculptural and multi-channel installation.

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.

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, The Goethe Institute 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.
