Alexis O'Hara


Alexis O'Hara is a non-disciplined, trilingual artist who bends forms, painting complex soundscapes and elaborate stories using nothing more than her body, a microphone and a series of electronic pedals. A former poetry slam champion and newspaper columnist, she now divides her time between three parallel artistic pursuits: spoken word, sound art and live action art. In the past few years, her work has graced stages in a dozen European cities and over 35 North American cities from the swamps of Louisiana right on up to the midnight sun of the Yukon. She has published books of poetry and her recordings can be found at www.grenadinerecords.com and her own website www.dyslex6.com. She performs solo or with her art-noise band, Suck Machine. By exploiting pseudo-virtuosities in verbal, gutteral and technological melodies, LX6 engages in spontaneous sound combat, reverberating the essential absurdities of life.
