Laura Misch has released her acoustic sister-album 'Sample The Earth', a new collection regrown from original tracks, via One Little Independent Records. It follows her acclaimed debut 'Sample The Sky'.

The idea for this reimagined record formed following a series of events that unearthed the acoustic roots of the material. A mapped "Forest Sound Walk" in Sydenham Woods, curated in collaboration with eco-social design studio Holobiont, encouraged deep listening within nature. Misch performed stripped back versions of the tracks using only her unamplified voice and saxophone with Marysia Osu on harp. Amongst the undergrowth the original album's inner potential was revealed. This was followed by stage performances, which after a series of unexpected power outages, led to spontaneous acoustic improvisations. "Through playing in forests and adapting to ever shifting environments, I realised that there was this essence I really wanted to try to capture that wasn't there before. I wanted to reveal something new that happens when you strip away a lot of the production".
