Linea Aspera - Luminance

Linea Aspera comprises of the synths & programming of Ryan Ambridge and the vocals of Alison Lewis aka Zanias. First drawn together in 2011 in London through a shared passion for coldwave, minimal synth and electronic body music and a collection of vintage analogue synthesisers, their emergence was swift, and their debut album was released on Dark Entries Records in 2012. After a 7 year hiatus Linea Aspera returned in 2019 with a small tour and second full-length LP, which was self-released in September 2020.

Luminance

LUMINANCE is the solo project, created in 2012 in Brussels, by the BelgoFrench musician and producer Dea Hydra. ((((((As an ancient member of Soror Dolorosa and current member of Emptiness, Dea has long been involved in the Goth Rock and Metal scene before developing a more personal way into Dark wave and Synthpop territories. His love for sounds and machines also lead him to collaborate as session musician with Position Parallèle and Sylvaine. Following a series of releases in labels such as Weyrd Son Records, Artoffact Records or Medical Records, he toured extensively in Europe and up to Lebanon and Russia.))))))))) Despite roots that plunge into the darkest and thorniest forests, the music of Luminance always strives to let rays of pure emotion through its stormy and threatening skies . The bittersweet melancholy of his compositions crystallizes in explosions of color and sophisticated sound textures that make each track a true journey worthy of the soundtrack of a fantasy epic. His sensitivity and skills make him a regular collaborator, through his «Les Jardins de Verre» studios, as a mastering engineer and producer for Objetrouvé, Tonn or Kernkrach labels, as well as for various bands and projects.
