Cornelia: debut album 'Balun' (Synth-pop, experimental)

Released 15th June on Camp Mozart: digital + limited edition audio poster

On 15th June 2015 musical bright spark Cornelia releases her powerfully enchanting, intelligent pop-filled debut album 'Balun' on her DIY label Camp Mozart records. In addition to a standard digital release, 'Balun' is available as a limited edition audio poster, which marks the first step in a series of technological musical endeavours, brought to you by Cornelia in collaboration with Novalia. Cornelia's sweet, spectral vocals plus subtle flourishes of grime, bass, IDM, ambient and synth adorn eerily beautiful songs, which although pop savvy possess a level of gravitas and proper sonic depth.

Following a fruitful two years writing, recording and touring with the likes of Portico (Quartet), Dark Sky, Bonobo, Kwes and Scratcha DVA, 'Balun' marks the movement of Cornelia's full focus to the solo artist limelight.

With a strong Swedish identity, Cornelia presents Balun as a reflection of her acclimatisation to London and the UK. Exploring different recording techniques with a mixture of acoustic and electronic instruments, Cornelia's new sound mirrors how she as a foreigner relearns basic things like language, culture and conventions. Balun represents that stormy conversation between a balanced and unbalanced mindset with deep synthesiser sounds, percussive drums, intimate vocals and dynamic omnichord strums.

Together with Novalia, Cornelia has made a printed album poster, using technology enabled by integration of conductive ink, capacitive touch and conventional electronics to provide a musical experience in a new format, combining science, design and music; when touched the poster plays the songs of the album Balun through a built in speaker and includes buttons for volume up and down.
