Ulnae was a captivating fusion of performance art and music, born from the collaborative talents of Darcy Neal, a cellist and electronic instrument maker, and Lily Taylor, a synth looping songstress. Their distinctive style spanned a wide spectrum, from the haunting beauty of ethereal layered vocals to the avant-garde edge of experimental noise. Central to Ulnae’s performances was the integration of live-manipulated visuals, enhancing the auditory experience. The duo further augmented their shows with amplified movements, handcrafted headdresses, and other visual elements, creating a multi-sensory experience that transcended traditional performance boundaries. This collaboration stood as a testament to the innovative possibilities at the intersection of music, art, and technology.
