Waterflower, originally established 2006 under the alias “Kroffork”, is one of the first female solo acts in electronic music in Latvia. A hidden gem in audiovisual performance art and experimental music, Waterflower’s live shows are theatrical, visually intriguing and rich in soundscapes, created by the artist’s ethereal vocalizations, synthesizers (using real plants to generate sound), and non-traditional object sounds using digital sampling.
Self-taught in sound design as a teenager in the 2000s, Moore’s only musical education was at an early age – grade three violin and multiple lead roles in musicals before the age of 10. Instead artist Sabine Moore utilizes her 11 years of professional visual and conceptual art studies to create music – the final product being an original and complex mix of genres, formally referred to as “experimental music” and “art pop”.
“Over the last ten years artist Sabine Moore has developed from a bedroom recording project to a live act. She now regularly tours outside of Latvia. In the live setting she creates an audio-visual journey into an atmospheric and ethereal world, pulling influences from nature and science to create music that could be considered Bjork-esque but is wholly her own thing. Her instruments, in keeping with the project’s name, are plants, which she uses via a capacitive synthesizer, a capacitive midi controller and an electro-magnetic impulse reader, which converts the natural plant signals to midi. ”
