Upsammy (nl)

Based in Amsterdam, Thessa Torsing aka upsammy operates at the porous edges of sound and image, where organic textures meet synthetic forms. Her work moves with a kind of lucid geometry: crystalline melodies, off-axis rhythms, and tones that shimmer like wet leaves in electric light. Drawing on a background in Image and Media Technology, she folds field recordings and microscopic detail into ambient structures, experimental drum work, and alien club patterns collapsing genre into atmosphere.

As a producer, DJ, and visual collaborator (notably with artist Jonathan Castro), her world-building spans audio, photography and video, each medium feeding into the next. Her live sets and NTS Radio residency echo this sensibility: narratively rich, playful, and never static.

With releases on Nous’klaer, AD93, PAN, and Dekmantel, upsammy has carved a distinct path through the avant-electronic landscape. Following Germ in a Population of Buildings (PAN, 2023), she returns to Dekmantel with Open Catalyst, a new EP that stretches her sound further into ghosted breaks, refracted ambience and liquid temporality.

Miscellania

Animalia and Steeplejack operate on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, whose culture and customs have nurtured and continue to nurture this land.

We pay our respects to elders past and present.

To this day, colonial violence continues to shape the oppression of First Nations people in so-called ‘Australia’. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
