BIO
Abigail Toll is a sound artist composing slowly evolving, mathematically tuned drones that explore cosmic acoustics, trance-states and interspecies resonance. Since 2018, she has translated these inquiries into archival research, field research, texts and hypnotic soundworks spanning solo and chamber ensemble performances, sculptural installations, presentations and articles.

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, an audioreactive installation commissioned by HOLON Berlin, developed in collaboration with media artist Anton Filatov.  

This Autumn, she’ll present her field research at the “Harvesting Otherwise” conference at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, Austria and tekhnē symposium at Trafo, Szczecin, Poland. Her compositional work for The Afterimage Series will premiere at ZKM | Hertzlab, Karlsruhe. Other residencies in 2026 have included The Goethe Institute, Serra da Estrela, Portugal and EMS Stockholm, and Unsound Lab. Former residencies include Amplify Berlin under Caterina Barbieri (2018); tekhnē, GMEA, Albi (2024) and ZK/U Center for Art and Urbanistics, Berlin (2023) and HOLON Berlin (2025).

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, Berlin Music Commission and Music Board Berlin.
