At very first I touched the DAW in 2014 but more consciously my music production, experiments and collaborations started to evolve in 2016 after I moved into a squatted bookshop in district Holloway situated in North London. I started instantly collaborate with my ‘squatmate’ performance artist Piotr Bockowski a.k.a Neo Fung and joined an underground art event under his curation called The Chronic Illness of Mysterious Origin which is focused on mainly on underground performance art and experimental electronic music. The event is situated in the basement of the squatted building – The Dungeons of Polymorphous Pan – by Neo Fung often described and conceptualised as an independent fungal post-internet entity or life-form.
Over the period of last six years I have been scoring various live performance acts and Neo Fung’s short movies whist living in the building, often bringing the equipment down to the Dungeon and rehearsing at its constantly changing environment. The basement has been several times flooded by underground rivers pressing on local sewage system. Couple of Chronic Illness events happened even in spite of of circumstances of nature and electronic music has been replaced by acoustic experiments with metal structures of the dark and moist environment.
Under the moniker Aurelia Trojanovska later transformed into TROJΛNOVSKX I played several experimental ambient live sets which created foundations for many of my tracks. Some of them has been released in form of digital EPs on London’s underground experimental electronics/techno/avantgarde labels Edited Arts in 2018 (‘Hemlock’), then Metempsychosis Records (‘Blaec Waella’) and The Judgement Hall Records (‘Theatre of Plague’) in 2022. One upcoming track will soon join few other industrial and techno artists as a part of VA compilation released on Korean label GWI MYEON Records coming out in few weeks.
Focusing mainly on performing live set and scoring performance art acts I have been mainly using the DAW and MIDI controllers. However in last two years I have started including in my production live recordings and the raw sounds of guitar effects, analog and modular synthesisers.
If I decide for mixing and layering music of my favourite artists I choose to perform DJ and hybrid sets. In those I often blend dark ambient, industrial, broken beat techno, ritualistic electronic, witch house and other sub-genres of dark wave and over the fast paced repetition I promote storytelling and narration.
