Phildel

Phildel is an artist whose deep appreciation for sound stems from an understanding of silence.

During a childhood in which music was forbidden by her religious stepfather, she came to know silence well. Despite her natural love for music, for 10 years Phildel was left to imagine the sounds she would fill the silence with, if she could. Her sound world is, subsequently, a departure into the world of imagination. Ultimately, the spectral compositions, that make up her debut album, 'The Disappearance Of The Girl', are intimate documents from an unusual and difficult childhood.

Phildel's debut album contains twelve magical songs of resistance and escape, written in the years after she took the difficult decision to break away from the oppressive household. Composing day and night, Phildel created the epic, haunting and innovative music she had dreamt of. Her music is a journey into the landscape of her imagination, at times beautifully enchanting, at others, raw and horrific.
