Gazelle Twin

We’re excited to welcome Gazelle Twin to SensoriaPro for an in-conversation to kick off the day.
Gazelle Twin AKA Elizabeth Bernholz, is a British composer, producer and performer whose vocal-led experimental music encompasses frenzied electronic dance music to euphoric choral or orchestral landscapes, diversely influenced by classical, choral and sacred music, folk, Industrial, and electronic dance music. Her experimental approach to composition, music production and live performance is driven by a desire to counterpoint or subvert traditional models of performance art and music.

Hosted by Daniel Dylan Wray.

Presented in association with PRS for Music.
