Waves by AVAWAVES

AVA is Anna Phoebe and Aisling Brouwer – a classically trained duo who create ambient soundscapes based on an intricate interplay between violin and piano.

They are set to release their debut album Waves on One Little Indian Records on July 12th – a deeply personal record written for those looking to find solace in a world full of unrest. As British citizens born and raised in mainland Europe, the musicians wrote Waves against a backdrop of a looming Brexit vote, the outcome of which was a devastating blow to the duo personally and cursed through their emotionally driven post-classical music.

No strangers to a constantly changing surrounding environment, their relationship to the violin and piano-based pieces they composed together became one of emotional catharsis. Through AVA, they found their musical counterpart and individuality.

AVA look for beauty amongst the madness, for a corner of comfort in an insecure world. “This music was an emotional oasis for us, to explore everything we felt in a space where we felt safe.”
