Petra Hermanova
Biografía
The Berlin-based artist released her solo debut In Death’s Eyes in October of 2023 on the record label Unguarded. Over nine tracks, which drift between song and heavy distorted drones, Hermanova utilises autoharp, voice, and pipe organ in techniques from both folk and sacred traditions to grapple with the spiritual and earthly dimensions of devastating loss and bereavement. In a disciplined display of beauty, pain, and astute musicianship, Hermanova brings forth a notable accomplishment of an album, which features the acclaimed organist Denny Wilke playing the Ladegast organ of the Merseburg Cathedral. The album, nominated for several awards including the Czech Grammy, is currently being presented at contemporary music festivals and also as part of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music. She has toured internationally with previous projects including extensive sound and visual collaborations with Jon Eirik Boska as well as her critically acclaimed band Fiordmoss.
