“Vocal Roots” (Foehn Records, 2024), Maria Coma’s latest work, is a cathartic and instinctive album that lies at the intersection of singer-songwriter music, vocal music, sound art, and performance. She has used her body as the only instrument: voice, breaths, heartbeats, vibrations, and resonances, with the special collaboration of Australian beatboxer Sinjo. The Catalan singer, songwriter, pianist, and performing arts researcher moved to Berlin in 2016, where she has delved into extensive vocal practices as well as various disciplines of somatic movement, dance, and performance. There, she has also collaborated with choreographer and dancer Naïma Mazic, the improvisational symphony orchestra Stegreif, Nicole Wendel, and the dance company Yotam Peled & The Free Radicals. Her first public sound art piece, called “Bodylandscape (Cospaisatge),” was exhibited in 2002 at the Centre d’Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona.
