about

“when you need to rest, let the sounds hold you contains four pieces and lasts just over 20 minutes, but is meticulously constructed. Alexandra Abigél Bánházi knows how to build sustained tension, dense drone-like passages (‘Dark Night of the Soul’), but also metallic and noise-like details. The whole thing has a subdued, delicate mood, ‘River’ veering between monotonousness and heaviness with elements of kosmische musik. A brilliantly constructed drama, this EP has both a certain restlessness and darkness, and at the same time something healing and soothing.”

—Jakub Knera (The Quietus)

swanasa is Alexandra Abigél Bánházi, a Hungarian sound artist and experimental music performer and alum of Electronic Music and Media Art at the University of Pécs. She's previously released on the legendary DIY record label Dióbél and was featured on ‘XPERI’ - the talent scout compilation by Telekom Electronic Beats. She also appeared on EXILES’ VA ‘Sirens’ and has performed at renowned international festivals like Intonal and OZORA.

In her everyday life, Abigél balances nursing, festival backends and sound art creation. A certain caretaking can be felt in her music as she carefully establishes new ways of audio well-being.

Her 4 track debut EP ‘when you need to rest, let the sounds hold you’ is centered around the themes of introspection, personal growth, descending into one's subconscious and facing imperfections and integrating them. Simply put: healing process.
