Calla
Calla is a force of nature wielding unique musical skill as a spiritual spellcaster capturing audiences in a suspended time-rift. A master of the-human-voice-as-instrument, electronic musician, violinist, and pianist, Calla is one of those people for whom music is not a pond lightly dabbled in, but an ocean that she calls home. It’s not so much that she plays music; it simply pours out of her. Expect elements of operatic vocals, heavy bass, and hommages to the worlds of folk, pop, and cinema epics. If music is the language of the soul then Calla speaks truth in many tongues.
A 2023 LUMA Emerging Artist, Calla is returning from her first national tour of her new album, Patterns of Remedy, for a solo show at Sherwood. The album shows the breadth and depth of her musical palette, with lines of jazz, shades of classical, gradients of bass music, outlines of the experimental, and a background of art-pop. Themes range from the pre-apocalypse golden hour of our civilisation to the thousand hidden kisses of forbidden love, with vast ground covered between.
This is not background music to stand around and yarn to your mates over a cold one, save that for afterwards. This is a listening experience designed to stir the depths of our primal and vulnerable inner worlds.
