ELVIN BRANDHI

Elvin Brandhi is the pseudonym of musician and vocalist Freya Edmondes, originally from Wales. Her long nomadic lifestyle has taken her from continent to continent. Edmondes spent several years in Vienna for her art studies. She is active in collaborative projects, including PLF, a trio with Lukas König and Peter Kutin. Her music is kaleidoscopic, idiosyncratic and fragmentary, as if made up of thousands of impressions. The rhythms are aberrantly experimental. There are frantic sounds of various sources, looped samples, glitches and Edmondes’ voice, that is sampled and manipulated in many different ways. Her voice is actually at the heart of the tracks, ranging from aggressive to pensive, forming an orchestra of affective vocal noises.
