NYX is a collective of experimental vocalists and electronic artists based in London. With roots in diverse musical and creative disciplines – from opera and choral traditions to sound design, visual arts, and experimental electronics – NYX brings together a community of artists united by their commitment to exploring new sonic frontiers.
At the heart of NYX’s artistry is a distinct compositional process led by music director
Sian O’Gorman. Each piece begins as a deeply personal act of vocal experimentation and layering, evolving into dynamic sonic landscapes shaped collaboratively with performers. This process blends improvisation with precise direction, resulting in music that feels both curated and alive.
Design and storytelling are core to NYX’s vision, with many members actively practicing in theatre and visual art worlds. This multidisciplinary approach is guided by creative producer Philippa Neels and enriched through regular collaborations, shaping the collective’s evocative performances and conceptual depth.
With NYX Live, the vocal and electronic collective perform their debut album that pulses with primal energy and delicate introspection, weaving together the ancient and the futuristic. The result of six years of collaboration and transformation, this performance reflects the collective’s signature blend of experimental vocal techniques, electronic alchemy, and choral transcendence.
Developed with support of Southbank Studio, Hawkwood College, The Francis W Reckitt Arts Trust and PRS Foundation, NYX Live premiered at Dark Mofo Festival 2023 in Tasmania and at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London 2024.
“By harnessing the void between nature and technology, the choir show us the creative possibilities of our 21st century relationship with electronics.” - DAZED
