Loop Session: Discover machìna’s Approach to Performing

When she’s in the studio, machìna’s primary goal is to write music that satisfies her own creative urges. But when she’s on the stage, she performs her personal, idiosyncratic creations with the dazzling presence of a pop star. In July 2023, she met with Ableton’s own Craig Schuftan in Berlin for a live-streamed chat about how she turns her art into a show, without compromising her vision.

Catch up on the recording to learn how she brings together sound and image to move her audience, and why the lessons from her past as a K-pop star are still relevant, long after she left the industry behind.

Keep up with machìna on Instagram and Bandcamp. 

At each Loop Session we spend some time with an artist to learn about their work and ideas. So far we’ve explored the art of listening with Pan Daijing, learned how Wayne Snow writes a song from scratch, and discovered Grand River’s creative process.
