Blu Aloé

Blu Aloé is a Berlin-based artist working with voice, processed through granular modular synthesis - moving between fragmented poetic language and voice eroded into pure texture and vast drone. Her practice operates at the intersection of drone, ambient, experimental electronics and industrial techno. She grew up in Cologne, Germany, where she became involved in the local techno scene in proximity to the Cologne-based label and cultural research platform Brutalism.

Her recent EP Herde (03/26) was released on Karl O'Connor's Downwards Records. Her album Liminal Space (08/25), constructed entirely from vocal recordings, explores thresholds as zones of suspension - mapping the physicality of chaos and fragility. She recently performed live at Sanctum Of Sound, MaHalla Berlin.

Boomkat: "Blu Aloé possesses a steely grasp of modular synthesis and dank aromas that feels out a bind between hermetic concentration and resonant decay. Her first bow on Karl O'Connor’s label [Downwards Records] explores her spectral voice at the crossroads of industrial experimentation, drone and noise techno, on a plane between Maria Zerfall’s cult ‘80s DIY works, Anne Gillis or Eros’ feel for haunted space and the rugged charges of Tuning Circuits."
