about

Blush is an experience of feminine interiority. It evokes the life of a young girl through flashbacks, a vivid return of the repressed. Beginning with the void, its layers upon layers of free associating sounds weave an ethereal lullaby, punctuated with sharp, visceral bursts of dark memories and harsh epiphanies. It’s the girl’s attempt to pierce through the facade of adulthood.

Blush is surrender to euphoria, instant gratification, isolation and ambiguity- the compulsion to open yourself up to feelings new or distantly remembered, to memories of apocryphal events. Most importantly, Blush is somewhere else that you can go.

ava* is an artist based in Berlin, Germany.

Her initial involvement with music was through the use of her voice. In 2018, she released ‘Juice’, a vocal-driven experimental project, with Zach Tipitt on the Japanese label Dark Jinja.

Since then, her focus has shifted entirely to production. Although she’s only been producing for a year, she’s been collecting samples and field recordings for over five. The tracks on her new project, Blush, are assemblages of these sound memories, which she’s warped and obscured to create an aesthetic that’s both familiar and otherworldly.

As a producer, ava* creates environments that are loose and innocent, yet stark and haunting. Sounds float by and pierce through unpredictably, creating dense ambient atmospheres with pulses of drama. She hopes her music can inspire people to go “somewhere else,” whether it’s a made up place or somewhere they’ve been before.
