Layne aka Rachel Aiello composes field recordings, abstract auditory textures, and rhythmic concrète churns into hypnotic aural terrains, evoking the spirit of her seminal female forebears in experimental electronics. Working with luminaries like Suzanne Ciani, she seamlessly bridges past and future through innovation, such as designing her own Korg Berlin’s Acoustic Synthesis Phase 8.

The set she crafted is a journey through a retro-futuristic soundscape, where minimal wave aesthetics merged with distorted textures and ritualistic undertones. Starting with hypnotic rhythms and haunting vocals, Layne gradually built an intense, chaotic energy—layering nostalgic melodies and distorted beats to deliver a cathartic, immersive experience.
