Miriam Moczko / Tamara van Esch

Miriam Moczko

Miriam Moczko makes music in response to the beauty and pain she experiences in life. With her viola, the loop station and effects, she creates landscapes through which her voice points the way to the listeners.

Ihr Debütalbum HEIMAT ist eine melancholische und hoffnungsvolle Indie Folk Platte über Familie, Vergangenheit und Zuversicht.
Mit HEIMAT kehrt Miriam zurück zu ihren Wurzeln: Was bedeutet es eigentlich, sich irgendwo zu Hause zu fühlen? Die Songs sind inspiriert durch Gefühle, Erinnerungen, Gegenstände und Orte.
“Es ist ein Album über meine Familiengeschichte”, erzählt die Sängerin. “Über unsere Herkunft, die in Oberschlesien liegen und über das Trauma und die Langzeitfolgen des zweiten Weltkrieges. Und über die Beziehung mit meinen Eltern, die dem Kommunismus entflohen und nach Westdeutschland kamen.”
Das Album wurde aufgenommen im Musikzimmer von Miriams Wohnung in den Niederlanden und gemischt in den Ballsaal Studios vom Berliner Tonmeister Peter Schmidt (u.a. Peter Fox und Wallis Bird).

Miriam plays concerts throughout Europe as well as in Australia. She has performed at the legendary Woodford Folk Festival, the Paradiso in Amsterdam and the Melodica Festival in Paris.

Her music is influenced by artists such as Sharon van Etten, Bon Iver, Aldous Harding and Sophie Hunger.
