With her praised albums „The Soft Bit“ (2021) and „What Happens At Night“ (2022), sound artist and composer Jana Irmert explored the materiality of sounds. „Irmert’s work swiftly slides from documentary lucidity into the glare of an obsession“ (Wire Magazine). Jana Irmert’s artistic work takes various forms – from live performances and multi-channel compositions to collaborations with filmmakers and visual artists. In 2019 she received the German Documentary Film Music Award and in 2021 she was nominated for an Edda Award for her sound design for Jóhann Jóhannsson’s film „Last and First Men“. In October 2024, Jana Irmert will release „When I Dissolve (Original Music From The Film To Be An Extra)“, a beautiful new album that collects the compositions Jana Irmert created for Henrike Meyer’s autofictional hybrid documentary. It will also be available as a Dolby Atmos version.
