ora et labora is the alias of the Viennese musician and producer Leonie Tabea Kudler. Classical music and film scores provided her initial introduction to the world of sound and laid a foundation that continues to resonate in her work to this day. Her artistic practice now draws on a diverse range of influences, including synth-pop, IBM, post-punk and gabba. Her love of language and words is also a central element of her expression, serving to make her complex inner life tangible. Dreamy synthesiser compositions, echoing vocals and beats ranging from abstract to driving merge in her productions to form an intimate soundscape that takes her listeners on a haunting journey into her innermost being, enveloping them in the process.
