VERA BREMERTON - I Dreamt Of Having My Eyelids Peeled Off

from SYNTHESIS VOL​.​1 by International Female Composers

/

about

Italian-born and originally trained as a pianist and a singer, Vera Bremerton was influenced by classical music in terms of harmony and polyphony; after moving to London she fell in love with the harshest styles of industrial, noise, avantgarde music. With these two different roots in mind she creates aggressive electronic sonic carpets studded with pounding techno beats and unashamedly symphonic elements. At the same time she has dramatically extended her vocal skills in the realm of experimental vocalism: counting Diamanda Galàs, Maria Callas and Meredith Monk among her muses, Vera uses different timbres, effects and an 4-octaves vocal range. Transcendental and sexy at the same time, she cries and whispers, croons and screams, cares and scares. Vera’s songs have become a vessel for the irrational and the Dionysian and she has performed them in clubs around the UK, Italy, Germany and Holland.

She has released two albums, “Elemental” and “Synaptica”.

Recently Vera has shifted to a techno-noise side project called Viy, which has a distinctive feminist slant: its aim is to introduce an uncompromising and stark female element in the male-dominated world of electronic music. By means of multiple layers of harsh techno beats, noise drones, vocal samples of her trademark high-pitched screams, Viy wants to denounce the indifference and hypocrisy the issue of rape is treated with by the media, religion and the public. These tracks are aggressive, highly dynamic, full of distortion and strident sounds and have been highly successful in several techno nights. Viy’s debut album “Amoris Vulnus” (“The Wound Of Love”) will be released next year by label VEB89.
