Biography

Collaborate: – email Dee Fry autmusicarts@gmail.com

London based neurodivergent multi-instrumentalist musician / composer / vocalist / songwriter / & sound artist. She creates new intricate music, songs, & ethereal soundscapes through which they have coined the term/concept ‘Stimscapes’, otherworldly yet welcoming. Blending elements from art-pop / post-rock, experimental, ambient, folk-songs, electronica, to contemporary soundscapes and live improvisations, she records & performs often layered sonic song explorations through playing electric guitars / acoustic guitars / keyboards / piano / synths, as a singer / vocalist, & through using sampled objects / field recordings / recycled sounds / audio-visuals & adapted tech. Often exploring relationships between reverberating themes of ‘Sound / Senses / Regulation / Delay / Decay’, of ‘Stimming / Repetition’, and through reflecting of what they describe as their experience of “ND/PD+Embodiment / Orbiting”, or of what they call “circuits harmonising aütmospheric darkness & light” and “aiming for a form of ND/PD+ affirming ecomusicology”, she makes solo & collaboratively with a diverse range of interdisciplinary musicians and artists.
