About this event
LEYA — the American duo of harpist Marilu Donovan and vocalist/violinist Adam Markiewicz — creates work within a unique world built from three core elements: a detuned harp (a system designed by Donovan for the project), operatic singing at an unusual pitch, and violin woven into that voice. With one LP, a cassette, three EPs, a mixtape, a porn film and a stream of collaborations, they have explored remote corners of the international underground while gracing major fashion stages and institutions including MoMA and Palais de Tokyo. The New York Times described their sound as 'the auditory equivalent of awakening in the fog of a bad dream only to discover you're still trapped in the nightmare', while The Guardian calls it 'a titanic feat … music that sounds simultaneously 300 years old and somewhere from the distant future.'
