She is a graduate of the University of Calgary and holds a master's degree in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in Oakland, California.

Sarah Davachi is a composer and performer whose work is concerned with the close intricacies of timbral and temporal space, utilizing extended durations and considered harmonic structures that emphasize gradual variations in texture, overtone complexity, psychoacoustic phenomena, and tuning and intonation.

She is similarly informed by minimalist and longform tenets, early music concepts of form, affect, and intervallic harmony, as well as experimental production practices of the electroacoustic studio environment.

"[3] According to the Getty Museum, where she was invited to create experiential soundtracks to Robert Irwin's Central Garden, "Davachi is among the preeminent emerging composers and performers of electroacoustic music."

The album presented an unusual combination of sonic synthesis and live performance, featuring vintage synthesizers, cello, viola and other instruments, aiming for a novel approach to beat frequencies and drones.

"Like Brian Eno at his solo best," Pitchfork wrote, "it's the sort of ambience that doesn't flood, that hovers precariously somewhere between the conscious and the unconscious, barely-there and indisputably present.

"[13] In 2019, Davachi released the album Pale Bloom, an acoustic suite of pieces for piano, reed organ, Hammond B3, violin, and viola da gamba recorded at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California.

In 2022, Davachi released the double album Two Sisters, featuring chamber music written for carillon, choir, organ, strings, woodwinds, brass, and electronics.
