Jessica Sligter is a Dutch-Norwegian artist and producer whose rich and moving experiments in avant-pop and electro-folk inhabit an elusive area between sound and song. Awash in sea of strings, analogue synthesisers and abstract electronics, her commanding voice shifts from operatic declarations to intimate whispers as she navigates complex, often political conceptual spaces. At Rewire 2019, she presents her new release, ‘Polycrisis:yes!’, a futuristic imagining of a collapsed European identity that weaves excerpts of speeches by European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker into a bleak but brilliant portrait of our times.
