Töfie & john haniver
Voice is Töfie’s main instrument to create music. Her curiosity keeps her going on a new way to compose and play with vocals effects. Here is how Tofie's project takes place, in 2012. At the beginning, Garage Band was the first witness of these pop and electronic sounds, resulting a LP released on Linge Records. Then, Töfie turned a corner. Her "electronica" evolved into a dark synth-wave, rhythms flow with industrials sounds but still haunted by pop music. It's a kind of ecosystem, made of organic and telluric sounds mixed with digital ones, raw and nasty, steeped by Gary Numan or Fever Ray's tunes. English, icelandic, german and french lyrics accompagny this melodic odyssey, through synthetiseurs and acoustic samples, transposed on versatile beat. www.tofiemusic.com
