LEYA • www.instagram.com/crying2leya
LEYA, the avant-pop duo of harpist Marilu Donovan and vocalist/violinist Adam Markiewicz, have defied expectations throughout their career, obtaining a singular, legendary status for their unmistakably beautiful and disturbing work. Through two studio albums, two EPs, a mixtape, a porn, and a flurry of collaborations, they have traced almost every genre of contemporary music. The duo’s long list of cohorts includes Eartheater, Actress, Ecco2K, Brooke Candy (via PornHub), Sega Bodega, Varg2TM, claire rousay, Okay Kaya, and many more.
Vanessa Bedoret • www.instagram.com/larvanest
Vanessa Bedoret is a London-based French violinist, vocalist and composer. She integrates her classical background to experimental production, as a means to shape intimate and cinematic compositions. Treating songwriting as an instinctive process, Vanessa transforms her deeply personal experiences into pure emotion.
Vanessa began her classical training at age 6 and on completion at 18 she embraced the thrill of playing guitar and bass in punk bands, and like many at the turn of adulthood, was quickly captured by the allure of the dancefloor. Her deep understanding of musical form elevates her experimentation to a truly unique sonic experience, one that never strays too far from her original love of classical music.
