Damsel Elysium

Damsel Elysium

2023’s ‘Shoreline’ flows from London-based instrumentalist, composer, experimental sound, visual, and performance artist Damsel Elysium's first encounter with the double bass. For it, ‘London’s most stylish experimental sound artist’ (as per Vogue) recorded the instrument, and, later, reapproached it, untangling an array of living sonic threads. The result is haunting, the sound of a creature caught in his web. For other works, Elysium utilizes improvisational violin, piano, original field recordings, and anti-colonial practices to explore alternative connections with physical and natural spaces. In their world, speech doesn’t suffice; fashion, sculpture, and movement reign supreme for this rising avant-garde experimental artist.
