Listening to the music of Joanna Gemma Auguri is like opening a door to a sacred room. Because she couldn’t carry a church organ, she chose the accordion for her musical interpretations. She invites you into a private space where a broken heart is allowed to beat at its own pace.
Growing up between two countries and cultures shaped her into an artist who stands out with unusual instruments and unique voice. The live concerts are reminiscent of a ritual and are a profound dialogue with the audience. The accordion as a drone instrument, like a breathing time machine. Joanna Gemma Auguri’s new album was recorded on tape during the first Corona Lockdown. 11 is a prime number which stands for dreamers and idealists – and for new beginnings. Based on an intense mixture of dark folk, melancholic cinematic pop, avant-garde sounds and poetry, this extraordinary album deals with loss, identity and biographical breaks.
