[POSTPONED] Alexa Burrell

 

Alexa Burrell was born in San Francisco, CA. She is an experimental collage artist who weaves together field recordings, video composites, projections, animations, sculptures and archival materials to create lush fantastical and evocative narratives that compare the emotional and material, natural and technological, and scientific and spiritual. 

Alexa is a musician with a solo project LEXAGON. Her music brings an afro-futurist sonic mirage of sound-weaving together enchanting vocals, clarinet, field recordings and handmade instruments. Inspired by female jazz vocalists and melancholy love songs, her performances incorporate femme ballads with ritualized moments of improvisation and intricate rhythms from unordinary objects such as stovetops and birds. Her music has been described as “ancient, sexy and haunting.” She’s interested in how music activates memory, particularly ancestral trauma and epi-genetics. Music is her vehicle for time-traveling, meditation and intergenerational healing.
