Sian is a vocalist, composer, musical director, and co-founder of NYX Electronic Drone Choir, based in London, UK.

NYX is an electronic drone choir and otherworldly electric chorus, re-embodying live electronics and extended vocal techniques. NYX are reshaping the role of the traditional female choir, testing the limits of organic and synthetic modulation to explore the full spectrum of collective female voice as an instrument.

Sian is a bubbling creative force, and I hope you enjoy this deep dive into her background, her process, and the formation of her primary artistic project. From singing opera as a teenager in New Zealand, to working at London Contemporary Voices, and now as an established artist in her own right. Much love and thanks to Sian for sharing her time and energy.
