Ecstasphere

ECSTASPHERE is a solo project by multidirectional musician Ophelia Sullivan. Deep, warm Rhythmic Noise surfaces meet powerful beat structures and complex melodic architectures. Combined with elements of various genres such as Industrial and Dubstep, Metal, Breakbeats, Classical Music and the occasional use of Ophelia's (usually polyphonic) vocals, a unique sound emerges, characterized by sharp contrasts and a dense, haunting atmosphere.

The concept behind this project consists of reflecting the very core of Ophelia's intellectual, spiritual and emotional existence by transforming fragments of her mind into sound. The result of this artistic process is an omnipresent mirror of herself, for no expressive device in the world can reproduce her truth as accurate as music can. The artist herself has had quite an unusually passionate relationship with music through the years; it has always been the shape of choice for pretty much everything - music is indeed the love of her life.

ECSTASPHERE's recent work comes with a more direct political undercurrent than the previous albums - it is about how the ongoing rise of fascism we are observing all over the world right now is a result of the catastrophic and inhumane form of capitalism that shaped us all, and that the social decay we are experiencing is a reflection of our own inner decay.
