About VAA:

Vyvyan Napoletani:

Vyvyan's journey in music and sound began in the comfort of his home, influenced by a family immersed in the arts. A prodigy in sound design, he honed his skills at SAE Institute, London, leading to a successful
career in computer game sound design, including a Golden Reel nomination for PS5's Spiderman game.
His unique soundscape draws inspiration from icons like Air, Boards of Canada, and Thom Yorke, creating
layers of sound that transport listeners into a trance-like state.

Aicha Djidjelli:
From the serene Essex countryside emerges a musical force, Aicha Djidjelli. A self-taught drummer, pianist,
and vocalist, Aicha has been crafting her unique style since the tender age of 12. Best known as a drummer
for Hans Zimmer's studio and live band, and for her contributions to numerous film scores, Aicha brings an
unexplored delicacy to VAA. Her multifaceted talents in piano, vocals, and songwriting, blend to push the
boundaries of music, creativity, and connection.

The Genesis of VAA:
Aicha and Vyvyan's paths crossed in 2018, bound by mutual friends and a shared passion for music. Their
diverse backgrounds and tastes in music instantly clicked, leading to the creation of VAA. Together, they
are not just making music; they are crafting auditory experiences that resonate with the soul.

Just my first person story here...
While slowly earning my B.S. degree in Recording Industry at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN 1984-1998 I was active in the middle TN music scene. I wrote, performed, and recorded original music in various bands, and projects. My songs were played on Nashville radio stations WRVU 91-Rock and KDF. Untreated worsening ADHD ended that as I found myself unable to finish songs, and productions. Since then I had made some efforts to get back to my love of making music, but kept failing. In 2021 after finally getting therapy and medication for my ADHD I found myself again able to see song ideas through to completion. After 23 years out of 'the game' I've had to learn new tools, and approaches to creating my music productions. I decided to share my journey 'warts and all' publicly as I learn and grow with new ways of doing things. The Recording Industry (Music Business) has also changed a lot since I earned my degree in 2000. I've had a lot to learn to navigate today's landscape as an independent artist, and that journey continues as well. With every release I feel like I'm getting better both at producing music in my bedroom studio with new tools, and better at navigating the business side. This is my passion. I hate that I lost 23 years unable to do it, but I won't stop again as long as I am able to make it happen. New project launching 2024: Pan-Pan Fell

Bathe Alone is the dream-pop moniker of multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone. Taking shape in Atlanta, her haunting approach to songwriting and delicate vocal deliveries often draw comparisons to Beach House, Widowspeak, and The xx.

Growing up with a formal background in classical music, Crone first burrowed her way into the Peach State's indie scene as a teenager. She picked up drums, guitar, and bass early on, where she eventually discovered a distinct identity and connection to each instrument. With a drumming vocabulary more akin to the punk world and ambient guitar drenched in delay, the foundations for Bathe Alone were starting to crystallize.

After tinkering and fine tuning her sound even further, Crone enlisted the help of producer Damon Moon — who immediately recognized an untapped potential in the project. Within months they completed what would become Bathe Alone's debut LP, Last Looks. The 2021 album quickly caught fire and received praise from publications like Under The Radar, DittyTV, and more. Recently the team finished her sophomore full-length, Fall With The Lights Down — due out this summer via Kansas City label The Record Machine. With eyes fixed towards the future, Bathe Alone has a lot to look forward to.
