The diverse sonic worlds Carmen Villain has built throughout her career are shaped by an endless curiosity for sound. Working somewhere between dub’s blunt rhythmic pulse, physical bass and the immersive textures of fourth world, Villain approaches composition as an act of memory and transformation, where sounds erode, repeat, and reappear in altered forms. Across acclaimed releases such as Only Love From Now On and Nutrition EP on Smalltown Supersound, Villain has developed a distinct language of spacious, immersive music that is both intimate in details, yet vast in scope. On her upcoming album Memoria, set for release this fall, she expands on her spectral dub explorations. In addition to her solo material, she also composes for contemporary dance and installations, including a residency at IRCAM Paris. Her atmospheric and bass heavy live performances have been presented at venues and festivals such as Berlin Atonal, ICA London, Dekmantel, and Mutek.
