TRAVELLING THE MUSICAL COSMOS, YEAH

About Me

The next stage in journeys of sound. Formed as a solo project by a founder member of UK/Japan Manchester based experimental soundsmiths 'Ampersound', Venezuelan Alien connects genres, sounds, beats and live instruments from a global palette to take audiences on trips that connect different musics together in ways that change them into something both familiar and new. Producing sounds from live instruments and playing parts myself rather than directly sampling other work..
