Aliyah

Aziz

New Media/Sound Art

“Sound is a ghost that moves through us while we are alive. The song which outlives me is the voice layering in, behind the eyes and beyond the body. I am a vessel practicing, empty and full for hours. Composing is arriving where I already am...find me here.”

Aliyah Aziz is a multidisciplinary storyteller and musician who uses light to talk about shadows, and sound to physically move them through us. She uses disruption as a tool of resistance, embracing glitch, electromagnetic frequencies, and static to channel the friction that exists between the surface and the depth of the technology that we engage with. Aliyah’s expressions take many forms, from multimedia moving collages of archived material, experimental sound compositions, interactive media installations, to live performances. Her practice is an exploration of identity and the power that stories hold, from the history of our shadows to the projection of our futures.
