Sophie Tassignon - A Slender Thread
A haunting Bach aria that launches into the cosmos. A traditional folk song reimagined through waves of mesmeric guitars. An Arabic poem wrapped in contemporary electronic textures. On her second solo album A Slender Thread, Sophie Tassignon weaves together voices and stories that transgress our borders and resonate in multiple linguistic and musical cultures. Listening to A Slender Thread liberates the imagination while celebrating our shared humanity across cultures, languages, and time. Following her acclaimed solo debut Mysteries Unfold (RareNoise Records, 2020), the Belgian-born, Berlin-based vocalist has crafted an even more ambitious work that showcases her extraordinary range both as a singer and sonic architect. A Slender Thread is an album that invites listeners to experience the world as an interconnected whole, where different traditions and expressions are not barriers to be overcome but threads to be woven into something greater than the sum of its parts.
