NL premiere

NYX is a London-based collective of artists who join together as a futuristic choir – taking the voice and its potentials to new places, while melding it with sparkling and sincere electronic production. NYX have a holistic approach to their songcraft, creating music that seeks to transform and re-wild the pain embedded in their bodies, and celebrate an untamed and collective feeling of empowerment. Their forthcoming eponymous album is co-produced by Grammy-nominated and Mercury Prize-winning recording engineer Marta Salogni, and features production from Sebastian Gainsborough, aka Vessel. It is the follow-up to their collaborative album with Gazelle Twin from 2019, Deep England. Their ethereal music blossoms out from extended vocal techniques which blur the line between voice and instrument. Led by music director Sian O’Gorman, thematically, the project finds connections between the body, architecture, and nature in an effort to create a celestial form of vocal embodiment. They return to the festival after an impressive performance with Iona Fortune at Rewire 2019. "These are our wild voices that want to be heard and loved," they write, "by ourselves, by our pack." At The Hague's Grote Kerk, become one with NYX's momentous choral compositions.
