About Alexandra von Bolz'n - NEW - www.alphacat.de
Alexandra von Bolz'n has worked with different media for more than 10 years. As a voice artist and extreme vocalist, she has shouted in bands, created sound art, and set exhibitions and films to sound. Her musical bandwidth ranges from more even and silent forms (drones, experimental works) to harsher sounds (noise, tech/math grind, breakcore, electro, sludge/doom).
With the sounds she creates, Alexandra von Bolz'n challenges and enlarges gender boundaries usually taken for granted. Once her vocal chords are unleashed, she runs the gamut from the deepest frequencies up to the highest pitches, emitting sounds that are hardly recognizable as products of a human voice. But it's not merely about shouting "it" out - in fact she turns her poems into sound.
As the negotiation of traditional gender roles is a particular concern of her artistic work, Alexandra von Bolz'n also collaborates with photographers and graphic designers. As a model, she conceptualizes ideas and visions in order to blur the classic imagery of the sexes.

Za Bolz'n sam saznao preko foruma - mislim da je Braindead forum, pre nekih 4-5 godina kada sam u velikoj meri slusao math core i math grind. Doduse, taj forum je ponajmanje imao takvih bendova, ali se secam da sam skinuosa interneta s/t 7" - sa tri pesme, 666 Hectopascal i jos 2 na nemackom jeziku. U to vreme, Bolz'n mi je bio najomiljeniji bend tog pravca iz Evrope s obzirom da su Ameri preovladavali u tom pravcu.
Vidim da si aktivna u mnostvu drugih projekata, to pozdravljam. Osim ovog benda imam Pola Trule Glave, Emetica i Condolence sve osnovne grajnd orjentacije...
