Subbacultcha presents: Patricia Wolf + Sara Mokrani

We are thrilled to announced that renowned field recordist and sound designer Patricia Wolf will present her newest album, not yet announced, live in front of Amstelkerk’s historical organ. Paris-based composer Sara Mokrani will support this evening with synthesised recordings of found instruments, aggregated machine patterns and funeral adjacent music.

Patricia Wolf is a musician, sound designer, and field recordist residing in Portland, Oregon. Wolf’s work unites natural and modern worlds, integrating ecological sources into her minimalist electronic compositions. Using melody and repetition she lures listeners to her hypnotic inner space, conjuring vivid textures and atmospheres imbued with emotion. Wolf’s debut album, I’ll Look For You In Others was released in February 2022 on Past Inside The Present and was quickly followed up by her 2nd LP See-Through which was released on the Catalan label, Balmat. In June of 2024 she released “The Secret Lives of Birds” on the UK based label Nite Hive. In 2024 Wolf also created the soundtrack and did the sound design for Edward Pack Davee’s feature length film, Hrafnamynd. The soundtrack by the same name was released on Balmat July 11, 2025. Her next album will be released in June 2026.

Sara Mokrani is a French-Algerian composer working with modular synthesis, organ and piano. Her practice combines composed structures with algorithmic processes that generate textures, melodies and shifting modulation patterns. This March, Mokrani’s debut record Bismillah was released. Bismillah was composed in a small house surrounded by the forest of Montmirail in France. The album is built around modular synths, field recordings, and an old organ discovered in a nearby village. In Sara’s work, the organ’s sustained tones meet a lyrical introspection, articulated with precision and vulnerability. The slow permutation of patterns creates an atmosphere where time and space melt into a pure, constant present. Inspired by the pastoral setting, the sequencing used to animate the modules feels almost instinctive. In dialogue with the calls of merle birds, the sound cycles grow more complex over time, with DIY drum-machine loops and distorted field recordings adding an unpredictable counterpoint.
