Marina Herlop

Biography

Marina Herlop is a Catalan composer, vocalist, and pianist known for her experimental approach to music that merges classical training with avant-garde electronics. Her early work, featured on albums like 'Nanook' and 'Babasha', was rooted in piano and voice. Her sound evolved dramatically upon signing with the #PAN# label, leading to the critically acclaimed albums 'Pripyat' and 'Nekkuja'. On these records, she deconstructs her vocals, using an invented language and drawing inspiration from South Indian Carnatic music, weaving them into complex, futuristic electronic soundscapes. Herlop treats the voice as another instrument, creating intricate, rhythmically charged compositions that are both alien and deeply organic.
