Biography
“There is the idea that classical music always connotes a certain image of gracefulness or elegance, but it can be more gritty and raw…”
“When we play, that’s when AVAWAVES becomes alive – it’s like a separate entity which is greater than the sum of its parts …”
AVAWAVES are rooted in cinematic narratives, evoking emotional journeys of the heart and mind. Consisting of prolific violinist Anna Phoebe and pianist/producer Aisling Brouwer, AVA is an entity of turbulent imagination born from the intuition and maverick spirits of two compelling performers. The upshot of this collaboration is the debut album ‘Waves’, released on One Little Independent Records (Björk, Ásgeir, Manu Delago) last summer.
Never conforming to expectations and yet instantly accessible, the music composed by these two creative visionaries is a sonorous consequence of two opposing forces determined to carve their identities into each other’s lives. To watch them interact on stage is a mesmerising experience, distilling the ebb and flow of their musicianship into an addictive and captivating intensity.
