An LA-based composer and singer who “infects” spaces and ideologies with her powerful voice and an art driven by a desire to change traditions through experimental and orchestral pop.

“We are capable of processing pain, experiencing joy, sharing joy, lifting others and fighting for the world we all deserve. ”
— Dorian Wood

Born in California, Dorian Wood was tutored in music from an early age by her grandfather, the Costa Rican pianist Calasanz Alvarez. After studying at Conservatorio de Castella in Costa Rica, she moved back to LA and went from performing in gay bars to recording a debut that merged folk, soul, experimental and Bulgarian choral music.

They’ve since performed with Marina Ambramović, played with LA experimental orchestra Killsonic, and recorded minimalist jazz freakouts. Plus, they’ve transformed the songs of Fiona Apple, Sia and Prince, created 12-hour long chamber music experiences, and composed whispering metallic clouds of ambience. 

This presentation of Dorian Wood's work has been curated by Liquid Architecture—Australia’s leading organisation for artists working with sound and listening.
