Hydroacoustics was a one-off day and night of site-specific electronic music, AV performances and installations aboard the MS Stubnitz – a decommissioned East German fishing vessel turned music and arts venue, that was moored temporarily at Canary Wharf.

A Station of the Third Heaven of the Nations

Stab of Pain, the new album of Sig Valax, is now available at Snow in Water Records (release date: July 3rd 2020).

In Stab of Pain, Sig Valax presents synthetic landscapes open like dreams through which she invites us to travel. Interior spaces of endless resonance, drones piercing the blanket of the night like a beacon, sequences that force us to listen differently. The listener is caught up in a magical flow of multiple streams.
There is something very feminine - stiched or woven - in Sig Valax's music, and there are clearly correspondences with her work as a digital artist and her onirochromes which draw wave tables and three-dimensional spectra. Dream figures that escape our perception, threads that intersect and create a mesh where the pattern alters repetition, a spirituality that is both wise and adolescent and offers new paths mapped out through sound synthesis. These 8 inspiring and singular titles resonate with the universe of artists such as Sarah Davachi, Eliane Radigue, Delya Derbyshire and Laurie Spiegel.

Sig Valax - Broken Eden

Gate

This song is about falling in love while trans and during a pandemic and the uprisings. It is about loving someone so much that the beauty generated from that act is so wondrous that galaxies open before you. It is about love without judgment. Simple, striking, overwhelming, and godlike. Love that transcends worlds. It is about being seen exactly how you need to be seen, held how you need to be held, and witnessed for the magical creature that you are. It is about seeing that the whole world can exist within another person and within yourself.

For Jenny

Lyrics
I awoke
Beneath you
Sweet afterglow
In full bloom

I see
The whole of you
The darkness clouds
But I can peer through

The Whole World Moves Within You

You are the shadow
But I am so cunning
Encircling your walls
Ceasing the flooding

I see
The whole of you
The darkness clouds
But I can peer through

The Whole World Moves Within You
