Alexis O'Hara
Alexis O'Hara is a non-disciplined, trilingual artist who bends forms, painting complex soundscapes and elaborate stories using nothing more than her body, a microphone and a series of electronic pedals. A former poetry slam champion and newspaper columnist, she now divides her time between three parallel artistic pursuits: spoken word, sound art and live action art. This year, her work has graced stages in 35 North American cities from the swamps of Louisiana right on up to the midnight sun of the Yukon. She has published books of poetry and her recordings can be found at www.grenadinerecords.com. By exploiting pseudo-virtuosities in verbal, gutteral and technological melodies, LX6 engages in spontaneous sound and body combats, reverberating the essential absurdities of life.
