Domenica Diavoleria creates sonic mysteries and invites listeners to get lost within them. The Olympia, Washington-based artist uses an array of synthesizers, electronics, and voice to conjure sound worlds immersed in hauntological lore. Combining diverging genres and personal ontologies, her work twists through an electronic lens. Spectral melodies take on midnight hues, evoking memories of abandoned shopping malls, haunted museums, and childhood fun fairs. Her approach transforms obscured dreams into vivid realities, turning isolation into a musical playground.
Even at its most foreboding, Diavoleria’s music radiates a fragmented warmth with soft, glowing edges. Each track serves as a fragment of a larger, interconnected whole. Through ambient compositions infused with tension and suspense, she leads listeners through a frayed, atmospheric wonderland. Playfulness threads through dark sonic fabric, with pointillist synth leads and woozy chord progressions. Dissonance becomes the connective tissue, echoing at the margins and bringing faded color to grayscale aural silhouettes.
Diavoleria began releasing music in 2021 with her self-released debut, the night is my world. Since then, she has released albums through esteemed Seattle labels Obscure & Terrible and Eiderdown, while contributing to several compilations. Residing and working in Olympia, she regularly performs throughout the region.
