Akyra is the collaborative EP by Dutch electronic artists Mathilde Nobel and Liza Dries, who meet in the realm of the weird and the ethereal. Written, produced and performed together, the record bridges Nobel’s painterly, deconstructed soundscapes with Dries’ glitchy, transformative pop instincts.
The EP took shape during a shared residency in a French monastery, where long corridors, echoing chapels and shifting atmospheres seeped into the recordings. In this charged space, Nobel and Dries encountered both ghostly presences and unexpected inspiration, channeling the building’s mystique into three spectral tracks. Akyra captures that residency’s strange energy, music as séance, documenting voices and visions that linger between past and future.
