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.
