Soap&Skin
Soap&Skin is an experimental musical project
of Austrian artist Anja Plaschg (b. 1990). She has played piano since she
was six. At the age of 14, she began violin lessons and developed an interest
in electronic music. After only playing a handful of concerts, she was already
being dubbed a “Wunderkind”. In 2008, she played German singer Nico in the play
Nico – Sphinx auf Eis by Werner
Fritsch.
Her first album Lovetune
for Vacuum, released in 2009 – the same year she was also awarded the most
prestigious Amadeus Austrian Music Award – received excellent reviews and was
ranked in the Austrian Top 10. In 2010, her song “Mr Gaunt Pt 1000” was used in
the television commercial for the Ford Mondeo, and her song “The Sun” was
featured in the French film Mes Chères
Etudes.
