BexX

I’m proud to announce that I’ve been supported supported by Help Musicians to complete the biggest BexX project ever!!! ….My debut album. 🤯⚡️✨🎉

Making an album is such a deep-work, psychological rollercoaster of a journey.
In fact, I now call it shadow work - as it brings up all the things you subconsciously resist.

Help Musicians’ support allows me to push through that resistance - slowly but surely.

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been most of the year… this is where!

…and soon I’ll be able to share the result with you.

Secrets out: on the weekends I sometimes become BexXienne, a famous French Gypsy Accordionista

I just spent a week in the scorching sun performing 6 gigs at Burning Nest with my new mobile live looping rave rig. It was good to be back in the fields!!!

Were you there too? If you saw me there leave a comment below

Last night’s gig was pretty special. It was a ritual of voice empowerment, to bring us together, use our voices and be loud.

I didn’t know I would finish it in time! I was literally still designing it on the day!!!

And, it was the first time using my very own self-built AI enhanced gesture instrument, so I can live-loop and play some massive bass notes at the wave of my hand.

It started off like an ancient ritual, my hands moving samples of my voice through the air in thousands of tiny fragments.

Then, I sampled the audience and it all became a massive experimental rave, where you can get up on the stage and your movements shape the sound.

I’m documenting my process of building an AI instrument on my livestreams, during performing an interactive concert and tweaking it on the fly to suit my own specs, and I’ve got a massive vision for what’s to come.

I’m performing this Sunday at ‘s Scratch Night, a space for testing new ideas and works in progress.

Last time I played with them, I tried out a new post-species concept: capturing audience voices in the bar, as if they were the final sound ever made at the heat death of the universe, and mixing it with my noise synth.

It made me start asking questions about what we become after the end of the human species, or even after AI and after everything we recognise now.

And then the more grounded question: what can we do now, with the tools we’re building? Instead of using AI to replace human creativity, how do we use it to support and nurture it?

That thinking has led me into building my own AI instrument, something designed for improvisation, connection and collaboration, not replacement.

I’m going to try this out for the first time on sunday.

What’s your fave BexX look? Swipe & help me out!

…I’ve been struggling with my identity lately. 😢

I’m never quite sure how I want to put myself out there as BexX. Sometimes I’m feeling proud, open and visible, and other times feeling so much shame and wanting to hide away.

That may come as a surprise if you see me as confident and outgoing.

I definitely represent ‘being yourself’. And i guess my own shadow work is to never really work that out for myself!

My looks have always been very important and integral to BexX, and I’m glad I’ve been able to experiment with lots of different styles over the years, on stages, in videos and photoshoots. It’s been liberating to do that in a way that is public, not sexualised and not becoming a cliche or trope.

So… maybe it’s time to reinvent myself again. Let me know which of these was your favourite BexX look in the comments, maybe it will help me figure out what to go for next.
