ANYX (D)

ANYX is the solo project of Berlin-based composer and performance artist Anna Lucia Nissen, working across experimental songwriting, electronics and live performance.

Originally trained as a sculptor, she gradually shifted her practice from physical objects towards voice and performance. While her materials have changed, she continues to sculpt songs with the same attention to form, space and resonance.

Starting with voice and language as her primary material, she builds visceral performances in which voice and melody move between fragile intimacy and full-bodied intensity. As these songs unfold, voice, body and space become intertwined, blurring the boundaries between concert, ritual and performance art. Pipe organ, piano, synthesizers and processed field recordings shape these songs, while drones, looping percussion and shifting textures envelop the listener.

Her work explores what remains of human connection in a world that increasingly feels disembodied and isolated. Through embodied performance, she searches for states of resonance where tenderness persists amidst isolation and decay.

Supported by Initiative Musik, her debut solo album Starlink—co-written with Alexander Rathbone and Tobias Textor—will be released via La Rubia Producciones on August 28, 2026. Rooted in her sculptural approach to composition, the album explores themes of ecology, alienation and digital overwhelm.

Recent performances include appearances at Volksbühne, KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Fusion Festival, as well as supporting These New Puritans at Lido Berlin and Circuit des Yeux at Kantine am Berghain. In September 2026, ANYX will present her album release concert in Berlin, featuring guest appearances by Kristof Hahn (Swans) and Andy Aquarius.

Prior to ANYX, Nissen co-created the collaborative project Anchoress, releasing Cockdust (2025), which received coverage in The Quietus and Under the Radar, following the debut EP In Times Where Eyes Are Low (2020).
