about our artist

Willebrant is the ambient field-drone project of Naarm/Melbourne–based bassist and producer Karl Willebrant. Working with bass guitar, found instruments, synthesisers, and field recordings, Willebrant creates immersive textures and emotive expanses that invite the listener to form vivid visual narratives through sound.

In 2020, Willebrant retreated to the home studio to fully explore his long-standing relationship with ambient music, resulting in a prolific body of releases and collaborations with artists from Europe, the United States, India, and Australia.

In recent years, Willebrant has performed extensively across Australia’s east coast, including support for IKSRE on her Abundance album tour, appearances with performance artist Stelarc, and performances with Japanese avant-garde noise improvisation duo HUH. He has also performed as bassist with James Hullick & the BOLT Ensemble for ECSTATIC at the Sydney Opera House. Solo performances include appearances at MONA (Hobart) and the Warm Mids Afternoon mini ambient festivals across Melbourne.
