Artists
NYX embodies live electronics, drone and ecstatic choral sound, testing the limits of organic and synthetic modulation to explore the entire spectrum of collective voice as an instrument.
Laima Leyton is a London-based Brazilian artist, activist, musician, mother and performer. After many years spent working at the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, Laima dived fully into music while continuing to connect with the arts and education via producing performances and workshops. In the past 15 years, she has DJed around the globe, made music, and been on tour playing keys and backing vocals with Soulwax. In 2019, she released her conceptual album Home, addressing issues of motherhood and domesticity. From there, she became represented by Richard Saulton Gallery and started a practice with video, installations, and ready-mades. In 2021, as part of InnerSwell, Laima became a Participation Resident Artist at Gasworks Gallery, working with communities around the area by using sound as a practice to activate narrative and memory. Laima has completed the Deep Listening Intensive Program at the Center for Deep Listening.
Do.omyoga is an immersive exploration of the self through sound. Kamellia Sara plays with her love of music, sound sensibility, meditation and deep listening practices to cultivate the development of self awareness and connection in others. Helping them to merge into the mystery of sound to find the link that connects all sounds and ourselves. Harmony and resonance. @do.omyoga
