about

‘Vels d’Èter’, the new album by Zuleika AvTes aka Glass Isle. Music of the ether, imbued with uncanny reveries and recurrence, susurration and sibilance, ghosts and whispers. Encircled by mist, caught under the spell of ritualism, led by the undertow. Monochromatic and spectral, endless drift, shadows looming and the night drawing in. Elusive yet transportive, diverging through parks and passageways, hinterlands and undergrowth, apparitional visions of arboreal scenery, liminal avenues, and opalescent waterways.

Labyrinthine, veiled, and cyclical, shaped by seclusion and interiority, yet alert to the impressions of environment. Revelations in the low light, wandering and reckoning with mortality, memory, dreams, solitude, and transformation. A suite of delicate deluge, shimmering resonances, and speculative evensong, incorporating field recordings captured in London and São Paulo, and assimilating allusions to the Czech New Wave and Wim Wenders. Straying beyond demarcations of drone, ambient and sound art, revenant sounds ‘illuminated by echoes’, made over many years, now sewn together, collated for collective odysseys into what lies obscured.

Glass Isle is the alias of the London-based Brazilian artist Zuleika AvTes. Working primarily with sound, she integrates experimental electronic music and field recordings with resonance patterns, abstract frequencies, and elements of chance, exploring ideas of transience and liminality; sound as a form of ‘sigil’. Her work encompasses concepts of memory, time, the unconscious and Jungian archetypes.

The first line-up was Zuleika AvTes and Natalie Williams (Leyden Jars). The duo recorded their debut album together and in 2015 it was released by Mordant Music. ‘Vels d’Èter’ is the first solo release by Zuleika AvTes as Glass Isle, recorded in London between 2015 and 2022.
