LauraL (aka Laura Leiner) noise experimental set

Ale Hop crafts complex pop arrangements with an experimental noise edge, utilizing electronic effects and computer software in order to mutate and reshape her electric guitar and voice. She will be performing material from her new album BODILESS, which is a collection of experimental electronic pop songs inspired by sound-collage techniques, radio drama, a genre that serves as a narrative thread for several of her pieces; in the landscape, through field recordings the composer made while traveling around South America; and in the composition of film atmospheres and textures. In BODILESS, Ale Hop presents us with a disembodied, unhabited world, of an intentional synesthetic character, in which the form is constructed as the sound design of a film.
