ML Buch is Marie Louise Buch, a Copenhagen-based composer, producer, guitarist and vocalist. Following her debut EP Fleshy (2017), she released the critically acclaimed album Skinned on Danish imprint Anyines in 2020. Her second full-length release, Suntub (2023), is a 15-track double album issued by cult new imprint 15 love.
In her compositional practice, ML Buch approaches music in an almost architectural way. Raw material is generated through immersion in playing and assembling, allowing space for chance and intuition to shape the work. Her live performances - both solo and in group formations - reflect a fascination with combining 7-string electric guitars in open tunings with synthetic instruments and electronic experimentation.
ML Buch has performed at venues and festivals including ICA (London, UK), Volksbühne (Berlin, DE), Pitchfork Paris Avant-Garde (Paris, FR), Pitchfork Festival (Chicago, US), Public Records (New York, US), Zebulon (Los Angeles, US), Roskilde Festival (Roskilde, DK), La Sala Rossa (Montréal, CA), Longboat Hall (Toronto, CA), Haus am Waldsee (Berlin, DE), ZDB (Lisbon, PT), Fuchsbau Arts Festival (Hannover, DE), and the Sound & Vision programme at CPH:DOX. She has also performed as part of Laurie Anderson’s Talking Choir project.
In addition, she has completed commissioned work with poet Ingvild Lothe and contributed to releases by artists including CTM, Jura and Astrid Sonne, with whom she has also performed live.
