Musica Universalis | Sofie Birch

Welcome to another podcast from The MELTiverse called Musica Universalis! It is a podcast that was created to explore numinous music. Mysterious music. Transcendent music. Otherworldly music. Relax and enjoy. Sofie Birch is a sound performer who works with vibrational tools to transform, heal, and enchant our perception of Life. Every month, she hosts the radio show Ambient Abracadabra on NTS—a sound collage featuring listeners’ secret adventurous sound creations alongside excerpts from podcasts on natural medicine, spiritual work, and mysteries. Sofie has more than ten years of experience producing music for theatre, film, and art installations, and has received beautiful recognition for her work through awards, prizes, and reviews. Sofie travels the world with her creations, both as a solo performer and together with her otherworldly friend, Antonina Nowacka. She also runs a sound studio and big garden with her partner, Anders Christophersen, on a small island far away from Copenhagen. At the core of Sofie Birch’s practice is an ongoing inquiry into spirituality, perception, and interconnectedness. Her work unfolds where artistic practice, inner inquiry, and the intelligence of nature meet. Nature is both source and collaborator in her process. ​Her second home, on the island of Fejø, serves as a place for deep work and reconnection, while her interest in flower essences and natural medicine evolves alongside a meditation practice she carries with her everywhere. ​With a background in sound design and electronic music, her practice extends beyond sound alone. She works with sound as a sensorial and energetic material, while also engaging with visual and spatial elements such as costumes, stage design, and varied listening environments — from acoustic settings to multichannel systems. ​​Her work offers spaces for presence, deep listening, and subtle transformation, supporting a conscious and curious collaboration with the life force energy.
