Sonitus Missarum (from Latin, “Sounds of the Masses”) is a free-noise quartet from Portugal/Netherlands. They explore the boundaries of rhythm, texture, and chaos, with an unusual instrumentation, bass, two drum kits, and a no-input mixer, the group creates dense, evolving soundscapes that oscillate between ritual intensity and abstract improvisation.

At its core is the electric bass, anchoring the sonic field while also disrupting it with deep, shifting tonal currents. The twin drummers form a matrix of pulse and turbulence, constantly reshaping the group's momentum. The no-input mixer adds a volatile noise layer, a glue of feedback, hiss, and resonance, that binds the chaos together into fleeting moments of cohesion.

Sonitus Missarum is less about “songs” and more about moments: collisions of sound, energy, and intuition that celebrate imperfection, immediacy, and the collective voice of the masses.

A co-release between WV Sorcerer Productions & Ramble Records.
