"Heart Shaped Burn"

From Listless

An architect of textured, neo-ambient soundscapes, Dania explores both sound and identity, focusing specifically on how the latter has fractured in a post-colonial world. Born in Baghdad, raised in Tasmania, and now based in Barcelona, she moves between cultures and continents, her creative vision directly tied to her transient existence.

Her musical practice, however, is preoccupied with harmonics and tonality, weaving together manipulated vocal fragments, processed field recordings and meditative atmospheres.
