Nostalgia for the Androgynous unfolds an ethereal-telluric space for voices and concrete sound, generative drones creating arcane sounds, lo-fi recordings, lyrical witchcraft, high-hovering voices, dazed and processed in glossolalic harmonies progressively embodied in organic and mineral scenarios. Occult soundscapes melt alternative listening paths in a cathartic collision, haunting and refreshing at a time, an atmosphere of ascent and intimacy, ambiguous, nostalgic, and visceral.
Serena Dibiase is an experimental vocalist, sound artist, performer, poet. She identifies her artistic and sound productions with the androgynous name Kratu. She carries out her artistic investigation starting from intense physical/respiratory practices and through analogue and not-analogue devices, to listen to radical phonic geographies, choral happenings, interventions on biophonies and geophonies extracted from explorations in abandoned, wild, industrial spaces, in a horizontal treatment of the sources. She collaborates as a sound dramaturg and performer with independent theatre companies, and also working for Biennale Teatro ’22-’23 and disseminating her research in Italian and international festivals. She collaborates as artistic consultant in contexts of social hardship (jale, community outreach centre for addicts), considering these incursions into her broader spectrum of anthro-poetic research. He has been leading Mouth of the landscape, a transversal vocal training and listening workshop. Her EP Nostalgia for the Androgynous released by Oceani Label.
