Aslope is Nika Son’s second album, now released on Hamburgs’ waywardly VIS label after her debut in 2020 (To Eeyore on Entr’acte) and brings together various compositions from the past three years.
Even though the album doesn’t address a consistent theme throughout, it is the night and its capability to shift our perception and memory, that link the pieces together.
Some of the tracks are extracted from multi-sound installations, sound video works or radio pieces created in recent years and reworked into autonomous pieces.
For the label V I S it’s her second release, after the EP Tennø with the project C (now called Cwelle, together with the musician F#X) in 2016.

Nika Breithaupt alias Nika Son works as a musician, artist, film composer, curator and Dj.
In her compostions, video- and soundworks she examines multi-sensory perception, its bounderies and interaction, but also forms of manipulation and illusion.
Influenced by Musique Concrète and the outer space of electronic music, she plays with modified and fragmented concrete sounds, interwoven with analog and digital synthesis, broken rhythms, voices and modulated tape. Sounds of various origin are translated into a very unusual musical language, as if one watches the audible.
