Actress and Suzanne Ciani are releasing a new album together, titled Concrète Waves.
Marking the first joint release of music by the two artists, the record was born from a live collaboration between the pair last year, which was co-commissioned by London’s Barbican and Barcelona’s Sónar festival. The two performed together at both last year, in addition to appearances elsewhere, such as Braga’s Semibreve festival.
They had first begun discussing each other’s work and the possibility of working together in 2024, according to press materials, with the music on Concrète Waves, which is the first in a new series of records from Actress’ Werkdiscs label, offering a document of what came from last year’s live shows.
The two artists are soon set to play two further shows together, at Rewire festival in The Hague on 9 April and Nantes’ Variations on 11 April.
Werkdiscs will release Concrète Waves on 27 March 2026
