VELVE BIO
VELVE lent her voice to the very first AI-generated speech applications in GAS and thus became famous in her home country overnight. On her recent album ANALOG she explores the effects of AI on human emotions and social interaction, immortalizing both her scrutinizing smartphone voice and her touching singing voice. The award winning singer, audio producer and video artist intentionally created ANALOG without any digital element and received excellent reviews from renowned magazines Electronic Groove, Mixmag, Faze Mag, Metal etc. for her avantgarde sound. In 2024 her single IMMERSION was ranked among Beatport’s Best New Electronica.
Gliding seemingly effortless between the genres Electro-Pop, Ambient and Techno, this album is just another milestone in her career as an outstanding female musician and music producer. In 2016 the trained jazz singer, who already had lent her voice to renowned techno acts Miss Kittin, Brandt Brauer Frick and Pole, was signed with British American publishing company Wise Music and received a platinum award for her collaboration with Deichkind. In 2017 she released her beautifully cinematic Ambient album “The Bodiless Series”, and her music was licensed for Fashion Week Vienna. In 2021 she received ten international nominations for her video art as well as the „Make Art Not Fear Award“.
VELVE offers an immersive and danceable 1 hour live-set with audioreactive video art.
METAL MAGAZINE: “Renowned singer, composer, music producer and video artist Velve has recently released Navigation, a new single off her upcoming album Analog (…). Produced exclusively with two analogue synthesizers and her voice, the Berlin-based artist's new work is a wake-up call to the threat that Al poses on creativity and the standardisation of art.”
SIX A.M. LOS ANGELES: “Iconic and political - Velve’s unmistakable voice imparts a top-class finish to ANALOG’s fat sounds. The tempo is up, the performance outrageous.”
FAZE MAG: “Two analogue synthesizers and the renunciation of any digital element help Velve to create a new and clear signature sound on her album, which seems to vibrate directly from the heavy concrete clubs of the capital (Berlin).”
ELECTRONIC GROOVE: “A collection of powerful 4/4 kicks and stylish oscillator emulations that seamlessly blend with intricate percussive and ambient structures.”
MUSIKWOCHE: “Warm and powerful voice, poetic talent, keen sense of cinematic compositions and an internationally respectable avantgarde sound.”
