ML Buch is Marie Louise Buch (b. 1987), a Copenhagen-based composer, producer, guitarist, and vocalist. Following the release of her EP ‘Fleshy’ in 2017, she released her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Skinned’ on the Danish imprint Anyines in 2020. ‘Suntub’ is her second full-length release, a double album consisting of 15 tracks, released in October 2023 on 15 love.
In her compositional practice, ML Buch sketches her music in an almost architectural way. The raw material is generated through immersion in playing and assembling, as a way of triggering random magic. Her live performances, both in solo and group formations, reflect her love of combining 7-string electric guitars in open tunings with synthetic instruments and electronic experiments.
ML Buch has performed at the likes of ICA (London, UK), Volksbühne (Berlin, DE), Pitchfork Paris Avant-Garde (Paris, FR), Pitchfork Festival (Chicago, US), Public Records (New York, US), Zebulon (Los Angeles, US) Roskilde Festival (Roskilde, DK), La Sala Rossa (Montréal, CA), Longboat Hall (Toronto, CA), Haus Am Waldsee (Berlin, DE) ZDB (Lisbon, PT), Fuchsbau Arts Festival (Hannover, DE) and the sound and vision programme at CPH:DOX, as well as performing as part of Laurie Anderson’s Talking Choir project.
She has also completed commissioned work with poet Ingvild Lothe and contributed to releases by artists including CTM, Jura and Astrid Sonne, with whom she has also performed live.
