“ELASI, the Pixie of Sound: Dream Journeys, Free-Fall Drops, and Electronic Rebirths”
ELASI, INTERVIEW BY GRETA GERARDI
There are people who write songs, and then there are those who build shelters. ELASI belongs to the second kind: a creature suspended between dream and reality, a tiny pixie who turns weight into light, the abyss into altitude. In her new sonic journey, ELASIR, she doesn’t just compose: she escapes, floats, and blends electronics, night visions, and memories of faraway worlds. She is an artist in constant mutation, driven by a primary urge: to create spaces where reality stops pulling you down, and imagination — hers, ours — becomes a liveable place.
G.G.Who are you, really, beyond notes and words?
E. A tiny pixie who builds shelters inside sounds, rhythms, and images that mix real and unreal worlds.
G.G.What moves you when you create, when you let your voice build new worlds?
E. The need to turn what weighs me down into something that shines. I follow the strange dreams I have at night, I let myself be inspired by sounds
from places or times incredibly far away, and I allow unexpected intuitions to move through me before I even understand them.
G.G. Your latest work, ELASIR, feels more like a journey than an album.Where does this need to escape come from, and which images or sounds guided you through its creation?
E. From an antidote: I wrote ELASIR to float toward Everest while I was falling into the abyss.The sounds came from the soundtracks of the dreams
I have at night (I often dream music). I like to think that with music I can create a new place between the dreamlike and the real, a place where I can take refuge when I feel myself falling into the dark alone.
G.G. You have spoken about an artistic shift underway. How do you imagine your evolution, your way of moving through music and its boundaries in the coming years?
E.I’d like to keep traveling — and make others travel — with visuals and compositions that blend electronics with samples of ethnic and traditional music.
G.G. I like to think of the dance floor as a flying carpet gliding over a world with fluid boundaries. If you had to choose one song that represents you today, which one would it be — and why that one?
E. Such a tough question: my favorite song changes every week. Could Heaven Ever Be Like This? by Idris Muhammad. Rhythm, maximalism, and melancholy — the perfect balance for me right now.
G.G. Every artist, deep down, carries an inner animal.What’s yours, and what does it reveal about you?
E. A kangaroo. Fierce, maternal, bouncing.
G.G. Do you believe in the influence of the stars? What’s your relationship with your sign — and with those parts of you that you might not control, but that inspire you?
E.Yes, a little. I’m a Capricorn with Aries rising: very hardworking and stubborn. But deep down I’m melancholic and romantic — that’s my Cancer Moon.
G.G. If your essence were a sound — a pure vibration — what would it be?
E. A harp.
G.G. And if you were an element of nature — water, air, earth, or fire — which one represents you, and which one would you like to be?
E. I am earth, but I wish I were air.
