Sophie Sirota<\/strong> is a classically trained violist, singer and composer who began working as a session violist while at music college and has gone on to collaborate as a session musician, live performer, arranger and composer with an impressive range of iconic and respected names that include Paul Weller, Kim Deal, Tindersticks, Beth Orton, Ed Harcourt, 4-Hero, D’Influence, Gabrielle and Robert Kirby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The latest chapter in Sirota\u2019s career began in 2023 when she performed at a monthly electronic music meet-up session hosted by Coastal Electronauts in Whitstable, Kent. This incentivised her to create new pieces to perform at each subsequent event, expanding her horizons as well as her collection of effects pedals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This resulted in Sirota’s 2025 debut album, \u2018Pressure Drop\u2019, a collection of sonic explorations shaped by live performance and experimentation. All but one of its six tracks were composed using just her electric viola, pedals and voice to create atmospheric soundscapes with abrasive, noisy textures, an interplay that mirrors both internal chaos and meditative calm. The album is available via Bandcamp<\/a> and can also be streamed on Spotify<\/a> | Apple Music<\/a> | Amazon Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
