Our nudity is the most fictional ever because it always masks itself
– why do you want me at all
Lyhre is the solo project of Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, producer and composer Anitha Kandasamy.
Based on her classical piano and vocal education, she experiments with sound synthesis and composition at the intersection of digital and analog, contrasting her voice with dark musical elements to create hybrid pop. With influences ranging from electronica, alternative/rock and pop, Lyhre’s boundaries of genres and her identity stay entirely fluid.
She works in performance art, sound design and multimedia projects and has been at
Deutsches Theater Berlin, Volksbühne Berlin, Staatsschauspiel Dresden, and is an artist at Modularfield Records. Her Debut EP ‘sad cyborg’ is part of the Netflix series Élite. In 2017 she formed a collective alongside artist Katja Gaudard, in which they create transdisciplinary works. They received a project-based scholarship for their work on Judith Butler’s “The Force of Nonviolence” and became part of republica 22, europe’s largest digital society festival. Lyhres new works are supported by Initiative Musik gGmbH with project funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media.

BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL POP AND HEAVY, DARKALTERNATIVE
Lyhres upcoming music is a (multi-disciplinary) work that negotiates established processes of differentiation and normalized categories, in relation to identity and vulnerability.
A gently brutal experience in the context of a philosophical posthumanism reflection of the label “human” and the implied perception of reality, in a pop cultural setting.
