Li Alin

Montreal-based singer/songwriter Li Alin comes with an eclectic background, to state minimal: along with as an completed visible artist who designs the artwork on her behalf personal releases and contributed illustrations to Alison Greene’s book Iconography of Values, Alin in addition has built cellular robotic sculptures and in addition created “digital sperm banking institutions” on the web. Her music also handles the styles of duplication, technology, and technology fiction (aswell as heartache, lust, and loneliness), but rather than expressing these suggestions with strictly digital music, Alin’s function spans brooding, piano-driven torch tunes to industrial-leaning dance music and synth-pop. Alin’s decision to spotlight her music — which she’s referred to as “a fantasy she tries to keep in mind” — was typically exclusive. While in Berlin, she contemplated committing suicide, but was spoken from it with a cocaine seller. She then visited the Westin Grand Berlin resort and started playing her very own compositions in the lobby’s piano. In her Montreal studio room Nesthetik, she documented albums that produced their method to enthusiasts in European countries and Asia (she performed in China in 1999). Her music was offered on Compact disc when Asphodel released the stunning All In in springtime 2006.
