äsc3ea (the stage name of Emma Hamza Grünwald) is a multi-genre artist, composer, and performer from Kyiv whose primary focus is experimental work realized through audiovisual media. Born in Baku, she has absorbed the whimsical cultural heritage of both places, making her work multifaceted and completely resistant to any unambiguous genre or thematic categorization.
A chaotically balanced, contrasting blend of experimental avant-garde sounds, glitch, noise, bass, electroacoustics, and field recordings, in which the explosive dynamics of analog guitar riffs and the alluring tenderness of eerily sensual, whimsical vocals intertwine in perfect proportion, complemented by touches of alternative rock and trip-hop.
