More About Alia Synesthesia
The Lost Opera by Horror & Opera is composed, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by Siberian-born artist Alia Synesthesia; a classically-trained operatic singer, multi-instrumentalist, experimental electronic musician, and multi-disciplinary mixed-media artist, now based in Toronto, Canada.
Alia was born in Yakutsk (Sakha Republic), where she began her formal musical education at the age of 6. Ever since then, music and performance have been inseparable parts of her identity. Alia started making electronic music in 2011, inspired and influenced by acts like Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, Chelsea Wolfe, and others.
Alia’s music, however, does not adhere to a single genre, finding influences in the richness and diversity of music: from classical music to musique concrète; from blackmetal to progressive rock; from synthpop to darkwave; from industrial to dark ambience. These and other genres all have a place in Alia’s music, often revealing themselves in the most unexpected places.
Since 2017, Alia has toured from Hawaii to New Zealand and Japan with her neoclassical symphonic dungeon synth project Subterranea, and as a live touring member of world-renowned industrial / darkwave pioneers ATTRITION (Coventry, UK). She is about to join ATTRITION as they embark on their first ever tour of Australia, and a return trip to New Zealand, from 24 October – 9 November 2024.
ATTRITION and Subterranea are joined for the Australian leg of the tour by ‘Industrial Synth Crust’ artist Schkeuditzer Kreuz (Kieren Hills) from the Blue Mountains of NSW, and by a raft of local supports across Australia and New Zealand.
