about

Alliyah sings to her dreams in darkness~ midnight by the ocean and shrouded in rainfall, her words cloaked as if summoning a lover.

Harnessing traditional styles of wailing song and contemporary r&b, Alliyah has created a multi-spacial, multi-layered work which threads elements of studio recordings and home-made tape loops mixed with live site recordings. This work takes the form of a seductive yet lullaby song in order to slowly reveal its true intention~ to summon prophetic dreams.

Alliyah's sound piece is currently installed in Southwark's stunning concrete church, Dilston Gallery London, as part of her Aphotic Archaeology installation for the Jerwood Survey III Award. Alliyah will be activating her installation June 20th, 2024 by performing an extended live version which encapsulates an ethereal story echoing a futuristic aphotic apocalypse and the strange creature that awakens. Objects and relics from within the installation become unearthed using movement and vocal scores creating a haunting landscape.

lyrics

~ i dream wide awake ~
~ eyes wide open ~
~ i fall into a sleep ~
~ deep enough to drown me ~
