Performance: Aïsha Devi ft. Emile Barret
Aïsha Devi’s live performance combines thumping beats and rave stabs, seraphic and guttural throat singing, mystical linguistics and corporeal sonics. She is accompanied by Emile Barret’s visuals that integrate video footage into virtual environments full of alchemical symbols: a real-time simulation in Unity.
