Isolde

Isolde is a female singer-songwriter/producer, based in the UK. She produces songs that fuse neo-soul, downtempo electronica & experimental pop.

'Isolde’ (iz-ol-deh) is an old-English name, originally derived from Arthurian legend, which means ‘daughter of earth’. Christened this by her artist father, Isolde kept it as her stage name, as a reminder of all that is ancient, natural and ever-present in our modern culture. Her work explores the interaction between organic and manmade sound, often drawing upon field recordings, instrumentation and voice, manipulated electronically and combined with beats & bass. Lyrically, Isolde opens a conversation about the human experience in our place in history, drawing upon Dada poetry, story-telling, and affirmation to reflect on and manifest that which serves life. Musical influences include: Bjork, Lamb, Sylvan Esso, Tune-Yards, Little Dragon, Cosmo Sheldrake, Mount Kimble, James Blake, Bonobo, Bon Iver, Erykah Badu, Kate Bush, Feist & Imogen Heap.
