…Singing From Hell Through Heaven…
Adelaida
Adelaida raises her voice like a spell. From hell to paradise, her scenic metamorphoses—phoenix, rhapsodist, siren—open up worlds where incantation becomes song, woven from infinite layers of breath and echoes.
During her residency, she will develop a new electroacoustic performance in which the voice becomes animated and unstable matter. Between voice and electronics, she will compose soundscapes that oscillate between the intimate and the epic, the earthly and the metaphysical.
The voice will manifest itself stretched, multiplied, fractured, resonating unstable passages, opening up areas of fragility and transformation. Her immersive ceremonies will blur the boundaries between organic and digital, presence and memory, inviting us to inhabit these shifting thresholds.
About the artist
Adelaida Antúnez Egurbide (1995) is a Barcelona-born artist, living and working in the full moon. Singing from hell through heaven, she rises her voice in a spell: infinite layers of voices compose her chants. Trained from a young age in lyrical singing at Orfeó Català and jazz at Taller de Músics, she later earned a BA(Hons) in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins, specializing in moving image and sonic landscapes.
Her work explores the voice as an expressive and ritualistic instrument, understanding it as a living, evolving material. Through choral layering, electronic manipulation, and spatial sound design, she challenges the boundaries between organic and digital, presence and trace.
Her projects often take shape in immersive performances ; her debut album Cántaro (2022) crafted a choral-electronic world, and took her to tour festivals such as Eufònic, Primavera Sound, BAM and SheMakesNoise. Her second album, Muérdago, successfully premiered at Sónar 2024, and is currently on tour through Europe.
