Lithic is Laura Misch’s immersive new album, a sonic journey
through stone, water, wind, and lightning. Building on the
ethereal heights of Sample of Sky and the earthy intimacy of
Sample of Earth, Misch conjures music from caves, quarries,
rock pools, and coastal edges, merging field recordings with
saxophone, voice, electronics, strings, and percussion. Struck
slate, ancient lithophones, hydrophones, and geophones
create rhythms and textures that feel both primordial and
contemporary. Across London, Cornwall, Hydra, and
Dungeness, Misch captures the dialogue between human and
more-than-human, crafting a record that resonates like deep
time itself. Lithic is a meditation on nature, aging, and
connection, offering listeners a profound, elemental listening
experience that is at once visceral, meditative, and
electrifying.
The album’s conceptual foundations are inspired by deep listening
practices, eco- acoustics and geology. Inspired by artists and thinkers
such as Barbara Hepworth, Pauline Oliveros, Annea Lockwood,
eco-psychotherapist and author of Weathering Ruth Allen and David
Haskell’s writing on the origins and evolution of sound, Lithic considers
sound as an ancient material itself; something that can shape and
transform over time. It is a deeply feminine record, tracing the rough and
soft edges of aging, the weathered lines etched upon a face, the worn
fractures in a rockface.
