Pre-order Chagall's upcoming album "Unlocked" on vinyl!

Hello! Thank you for supporting the creation of my debut album "Unlocked".

I guess it’s kind of a concept album in the sense that it has the same tracks from the live show ‘Unlocked’. Most of them were written during the 2020 pandemic and are themed around becoming aware and accepting of the more complicated sides of yourself. Once you can see, you are free! Solace is the one thing I hope you’ll get from listening to these songs.

We’ve gone for a 80s meets 90s synth-pop flavour, charged with high-emo melodies and brutally honest lyrics. The words to most of these tracks were written by the brilliant poet Robert Isaf, and these lyrics will have a prominent presence on the sleeve of the vinyl. Almost all of the music was co-composed, -recorded and -produced with the immaculate Raven Bush in our studios across in The Netherlands and the UK. The artwork was created by visual genius Eduardo Fitch. He “collaborated” with my ‘Chagavatar’ to visualise self acceptance and care in a space-time vacuum.

Become part of the finishing of this album by pre-ordering this vinyl now and receive updates from me about the process of recording, producing, mixing and mastering the songs and creating the artwork <3

What’s in it for you?
- Become the owner of a very limited edition of my debut album
- Receive behind the scenes content about the production of this record from me personally
- Hear the tracks before everyone else
- The pleasure of supporting me getting this record finished by forcing a deadline upon me ;)

What’s in it for me?
- Life-long dream come true to release an album on vinyl
- No financial risk of having to invest in 200 vinyls
- The security I have the space to finish this album professionally and beautifully
- A deadline! Gotta have a deadline, otherwise nothing ever gets finished

About the live show "Unlocked"
‘Unlocked’ is singer/producer Chagall’s latest live music performance in which she explores her relationship with a reactive light-art installation called B.A.B.Y. (Bionic Assistant for Becoming Yourself). As Chagall controls all elements in the show in realtime through sensors in her costume, audiences witness an organic and intimate interplay of the human body, voice, light and music.

At the heart of ‘Unlocked’ are nine visceral, synth heavy 80s meets 90s pop songs written in collaboration with poet Robert Isaf during the pandemic of 2020. Chagall serenades the journey within herself and what was left when all external distractions, deadlines and plans had faded away. The confrontations and unification with the self are visualised by the exchange between Chagall and B.A.B.Y. - symbolising her ego, her brain. At times the installation is a comfortable cocoon, a safe space, fully reactive to Chagall. At other moments B.A.B.Y. will take the lead and confronts Chagall with parts of her that are more difficult to accept.

All songs are written, performed and produced by Chagall.
Most songs are composed and produced with Raven Bush.
Most songs have lyrics by Robert Isaf.
All tracks mixed by Matt Allaby @ Idealnoise

Chagall puts a beating heart in music & technology. She sings, composes, dances, programs, experiments and paves her way through everything that is human. Captivating, playful and intimate; every performance by Chagall is a spectacular audio-visual experience that inspires and connects.

Joining the London music technology startup MiMU in 2014 kicked off Chagall’s fascination for motion controllers in electronic music performance and stimulated her to learn more about computer programming. By 2017 she produced her first live show in which she
controlled all digital elements in the music and visual projections with her MiMU Gloves. This work sent her across the globe to give performances and tell her story of using sensor-tech in music to colleagues & students at events like TEDx, South by Southwest, Ableton
Loop, MUTEK Montreal, Reeperbahn Festival, Sonar +D, Dutch Design Week, Amsterdam Dance Event, Boiler Room and many more.

In 2019 she created ‘Advaita’ for which she turned the Xsens motion capture suit into a full body musical instrument. By developing this technical ability she really made live music, technology, visual and movement work together in harmony as all artistic elements are
controlled by one thing: the performer’s body. The result is a synergy of movement, music and visual effects performance that is understood intuitively and emotionally.

In 2021 she went further to not only control a digital environment but affect the physical space around her by creating B.A.B.Y. a fully reactive light-art installation in the shape of a LED cocoon. With B.A.B.Y. she realised her latest live show Unlocked which is currently touring.
