Daina Dieva is a performance artist, musician, sound designer, curator, translator, filmmaker and a screenwriter. She is fluent in 6 languages, and thus, in her music she often explores various forms of communication, and tackles a wide array of topics that vary from the notions of individual or collective identity, through destruction, balance of power, to the limits of the human physique. Her performances resemble a journey, a ritual of a private transformation. In her music Daina Dieva creates reverberating, atmospheric soundscapes, emerging not only out of the electronic media, but from acoustic sources too. She samples vocals and uses the recordings of the surrounding world, which she later incorporates into a deep drone sound aesthetic and creates the sound blocks of the dream-like
dark ambient and
post-folk.
