About Lia Kohl
Lia Kohl is a cellist, composer and sound artist who came up through Chicago's improvised and experimental music scene. Her work moves between solo recordings, collaborations and pieces made for dance and theatre, and she treats the cello as one sound source among many, often alongside electronics and recorded material.
Her album The Ceiling Reposes, released on American Dreams, gathers short, quiet pieces that sit somewhere between composition and field recording. She has also made a duo album, Pocket of Air, with fellow Chicago musician Macie Stewart, built from the two of them improvising on strings and voice.
