_______________________________________________________________________
Bela Emerson is a pioneering electric cellist who performs
passionate, evocative and completely improvised solo pieces
using live processing. Her music harnesses many different
genres whilst creating noiseworlds which are all her own.
Bela's performances are the stuff of legend: spontaneous,
intense, and exhilarating. She builds layers of rhythm and
sound from every part of her instrument: sounds are looped,
take on lives of their own, bounce off each other...the
effect, as anyone who's heard her will testify, is mesmeric.
Bela emerges from the DIY arena with Hespera, her fourth solo
release - the first with BiP_HoP and also the first which
comprises self-contained studio tracks of seven minutes and
under, recorded by Kris Weston (aka Thrash) & Grantby.
Bela is a prolific and well-travelled performer who tours
extensively as a headline act in the UK, Europe, and North
America; she's recently also thrilled crowds at Supersonic,
Glastonbury, Bestival, and EXPO, as well as at many worldwide
Ladyfests. She has also performed numerous live sessions on
Resonance FM, BBC Radio 3, Totally Radio, and in Second Life.
In addition to her solo work, Bela has collaborated
extensively with other musicians - live with Tim Exile, Sten
Sandell, Rhodri Davies, and Same Actor (to name but a few),
and in the studio with Gruenrekorder, Net-Lab, and Strings of
Consciousness. She's also worked with film-makers Tereza
Buskova & SchMovies and dancer Anushiye Yarnell, plus created
many other live soundtracks to film, theatre, and cabaret.
Studio & live sessions include four with Lianne Hall for Radio
1's John Peel, and recordings with British Sea Power, The
LoveGods, and Caramel Jack. She also tours worldwide with
percussion company Stomp.
