Rooted in the enchanting landscapes of Transylvania and currently weaving its narrative between the dynamic scenes of Bucharest, Berlin and Copenhagen, this project is a fusion of real-time generative visuals and textural ambient sounds.

Ioana's creative journey, inspired by the rich tapestry of nature's sounds in lush forests, unfolds in a mesmerizing audio-visual odyssey. The ambient layers, dark drones, and haunting vocals, often extracted from recordings in unique natural settings, converge in a generative AV dialogue. ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป invites you to transcend conventional artistic realms, inviting you into a captivating realm where music and visuals coalesceโ€”a harmonious and immersive sensory experience.

Ioana performed in events such as Atonal, Sonar Reykjavik, Roskilde, Ableton Loop, ร‰clat Crew Isolation Sessions, Resonate Cph, etc.

Spherical Aberration =ย  is an optical effect observed in an optical device (lens, mirror, etc.) that occurs due to the increased refraction of light rays when they strike a lens or a reflection of light rays when they strike a mirror near its edge, in comparison with those that strike nearer the center. It signifies a deviation of the device from the norm, i.e., it results in an imperfection of the produced image.
