biographical info

prOphecy sun is East Vancouver’s noise darling – a siren who creates ghostly improvisations, looping vocal drones and free style field recordings using breathing & throat singing, a handmade theremin and a knapsack full of customized musical objects.

Her third album Bird curious was recorded almost entirely in her living room using an iPhone, with the exception of one track, recorded while riding her bicycle. Each song was captured live in one take. The compositions focus on the voice as a symbol of the unconscious, capturing the immediacy of emotive textures and sounds that live inside her head. Her rhythms are of day dreams, future visions and of lost love serenades.

“Her debut disc, appropriately titled Cats Paws, was recorded at home with all five of her felines running around the makeshift studio. The singer even sets up a collection of hand-sewn calicos in front of her before she plays. It’s borderline obsessive, but considering the result—an eerily hypnotic collection of vocal loops that pile cutesy kitten meows atop spectral moans—it sounds like Prophecy’s cat fixation has paid off handsomely.”
