Lucrecia Dalt’s background as a geotechnical engineer informs her scientific process to music. The Colombia-born, Berlin-based sound artist explores planetary source material within her solo work, most notably on 2022’s ¡Ay!. A composer for both HBO series and experimental films, the Dalt’s thought-provoking, multidisciplinary performances have taken place in art galleries and concert halls around the world.

A Danger to Ourselves features a rich collaborative cast, with David Sylvian joining as co-producer and guitarist on select tracks. Vocal contributions from Juana Molina, Camille Mandoki, and Eliana Joy appear throughout, while the instrumental landscape is shaped by Cyrus Campbell on upright and electric bass and Chris Jonas on saxophone.

The album title comes from Sylvian's lyrics in "cosa rara," reflecting themes of life's fragility, love's oscillations, and the desire for liberation from everyday patterns toward more meaningful inner experiences. Mastered by Heba Kadry in NYC, A Danger to Ourselves represents both a culmination of Dalt's previous work and a new direction—a space where her sonic explorations converge into something intimate yet expansive, personal yet universally resonant.

Marielle V. Jakobsons is an award-winning composer and interdisciplinary artist known for creating immersive, transportive sound worlds. Blending lush synthesizers and expressive strings her music interweaves minimalistic patterns with moving melodies.

Her latest album The Patterns Lost to Air (Thrill Jockey, Feb 2026) unfolds as a resonant world of pulse, shimmer, and melodic bloom. The work asks: What happens when we release our grip on familiar patterns—in sound, in self, in memory—and allow them to transform in the air around us?
