Carbon Sink is a duo formed by Magali Sanheira and Gael Angelis.

They invite us to enter in an electric world, crossed by AC high voltages, and by electromagnetic waves of luminous gases.

Their dense, obscure music sends blind optimism into overdrive without plunging us into a cold, immobile dark ambience.

A trip across the elementary particles on hypnotic rhythms, to the encounter of cyborg-birds, interferences and echoes, a bubbling resilience where life pulsates through disfigured field recordings, modular synths, deep guitars and skilfully disseminated musique concrète, and where every detail helps to empathize a haunting but sharp music.


Magali Sanheira is a trained visual artist and self-taught musician.

She began experimenting with sound through performance, amplifying various objects and scenographic elements.

Her work focuses on research into musical gesture.

Her solo project is Oculus tapageur. She has collaborated with artists such as Pascal Battus, Damien Schultz and Z’EV, and forms the duo Carbon sink with Gaël Angelis.


Gaël Angelis is a musician and visual artist.

Trained as a drummer, he is interested in how sound can introduce movement and temporality.

Considering sculpture as an instrumental realization, he creates electromechanical installations, “sculpture/instrument” devices in which various elements are set in vibration by feedback phenomena.

His solo projects include Bakunen, Man-eater Orchestra.
