GRAND RIVER | ALL ABOVE
Aimée Portioli is a Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer and sound designer who records and performs as Grand River, making experimental electronic music with rich emotional colours. Her work is atmospheric yet rhythmically complex, incorporating a wide range of contemporary compositional and production techniques.
Her third album All Above, her most ambitious and divergent set so far, is rooted in her deeply personal philosophy as an artist, blurring the boundaries between electronic music, influenced by minimalism and ambient, and acoustic music, with a wide variety of instrumentation, including voices, strings, organs, guitars and synthesisers, focused around the piano. All this, accompanied by Marco Ciceri’s light design.
