In recent years, Leya has become a cult name on the international underground scene.
\nIn addition to their own recordings, they have collaborated with artists such as Eartheater, Actress, Okay Kaya, Ecco2K, and claire rousay; their work has been featured at the MoMA and Palais de Tokyo, at fashion shows for global brands, in porn, and at leading international festivals. The mixtape Eyeline and their latest album I Forget Everything confirm their ability to constantly push the boundaries of their own language\u2014from intimate chamber music through avant-pop to dark ambient landscapes.<\/p>\n
Leya are among the most distinctive voices in contemporary experimental music. The New York duo of harpist Marilu Donovan and violinist and singer Adam Markiewicz creates a sonic world that The Guardian described as \u201cmusic that sounds both 300 years old and as if from the distant future.\u201d Through the use of alternatively tuned strings, operatic vocals, and a captivating play with dissonance, they transform traditional instruments into a medium for something strange, dreamlike, and ambiguous\u2014music that moves between ecstasy and unease.<\/p>\n
Live, Leya creates an experience that defies conventional categories. The delicate beauty of the harp meets the spiritual tension of the voice and violin, while between the individual notes
\nspace emerges for something inexpressible. The result is a hypnotic concert balancing between an ancient ritual, experimental composition, and a vision of the music of the future.<\/p>\n
Catia Lanfranchi grew up alongside an organ that shaped the distinctive timbre of her voice. Although life has taken her far from home, this instrument still connects her to something intimately familiar and close to her heart.
\nThrough experimental songwriting and contemporary sound design, Junge Eko challenges the sombre legacy of the organ. Her enchanting electroacoustic compositions provide scope for improvisations with a wide range of dynamics and emotional peaks, eventually finding a sense of calm.
\nJunge Eko, known for her work in various bands and collaborations, has earned critical acclaim and reached an international audience with her first solo album, WWTAWWTAL: Selwi.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly those who have a truly refined sense of their surroundings also possess a truly refined sense of art. Anyone
\nwho mistakes Junge Eko\u2019s delicacy for fragility is very much mistaken: there is so much inner strength in this
\nmusic, insane beauty and endless inspiration.\u201d Irascible<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
