In the fourth instalment of AIR Lab’s Listen Up! Sessions, composer, producer, and songwriter Hannah Schneider joins AIR Lab to share the artistic process behind her new album In This Room.

Written and recorded during a two-month residency at Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen, the album was shaped by a process in which the museum’s historical spaces became both context and catalyst for the music. Here, composition and recording were approached as a spatial and intuitive practice, asking what happens when acoustic instruments become the point of departure for contemporary electronic music.

For AIR Lab, this offers a rich artistic entry point into questions of affect, embodiment, atmosphere, and relational listening: how spaces co-produce experience, how sound mediates felt encounter, and how creative practice can function as a mode of inquiry into human-technology-environment relations.

Through organic textures, electronic beats, and a strong hand-played presence, In This Room explores the transformative, the unknown, and the longing. Hannah Schneider’s work invites us to consider listening not simply as reception, but as a situated, affective, and relational practice.
