Siann Lofhai, delicate noise songs
After spending her childhood on a South Pacific island, Siann Lofhai settles in France.
Her encounter and the experience shared with some artists in the collective called CAVAL in Paris is decisive : she is introduced to stage practice in shows associating painting, circus and sound performance.
Siann Lofhai leans towards a dreamy form of curiosity, and her music invites us in a strange world, full of both lightness and darkness.
The instrumentation based on electric guitar and completed by samples creates a backdrop of haunting sounds, in which the voice introduces a disturbing sense of intimacy.
