The second single & accompanying video clip ‘Like’ from Xenia’s album ‘8’ was inspired by ‘Page of madness‘. A silent, avant-garde horror film by Japanese film director Teinosuke Kinugasa (1926). Incorporating similar wild dance and quick cuts Xenia set out to capture the same eerie atmosphere of Teinosuke’s film. She took a hands-on approach to the creation of her video, filming the sequences personally and taking charge of the montage process.

(ab) Nomalie
Xenia’s third album (2022) is a project that pushes the boundaries of traditional sound compositions. (Ab)Nomalie explores the themes surrounding societal norms and the concept of what is deemed appropriate. It’s not just about music; it is accompanied by a series of (digital) collages that live on the edge of acceptance, challenging the listener to rethink their perceptions.

In May 2022 Xenia was invited to participate in a Residency at Klangendum/WORM/CEM Studio. This opportunity allowed her to create a new work for Dr. Klangendum, a broadcast that is part of De Concertzender. Central to her research and creative output during this residency was the theme of fear — fear of the other, the fear of being different, and the fear of deviating from what is considered normal.
The inspiration behind the project
Xenia’s personal experiences with mental disorders (deviating from the ‘normal’) have significantly shaped her artistic journey so far, influencing both her visual and auditory works. By manipulating sound in unconventional ways, she creates sonic experiences that mimic the often complex and unpredictable inner workings of the mind, allowing listeners to feel the chaotic nature of these mental processes.
With (Ab)Nomalie she hopes listeners will be persuaded to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the uncomfortable. She believes that a certain amount of discomfort and disruption could cultivate greater understanding and insight into the unconscious and disturbed processes of not just those with mental disorders, but of anyone who could experience such a temporary kind of state under certain circumstances.
