In recent years she’s made music on record or live with Ana da Silva of The Raincoats, Jim O’Rourke, Oren Ambarchi, Ikue Mori, and Yoshimi of OOIOO / Boredoms / Saicobab.
Since the early 2010s, Phew has explored the intersection of voice and electronic music, earning international acclaim as a visionary electronic artist.
FREDDIE MURPHY

His sonic research has shifted from cathartic performances to express the Catholic sense of guilt to an intimate investigation on feelings of loss and acceptance connected with grief. As founding member of the Italian Occult Psychedelia’s outfit Father Murphy he released a series of concept albums and performed extensively across the world.
His latest output, “The Night shows no Dawn” is a sonic exploration into the practice of funeral laments, a formal device used in many cultures to express and contain the emotions of grief.
