ALOES creates atmospheric soundscapes with pop-like melodies, vocals and occasional crude beats that interact with live generated images. Through their custom software and self-built instruments they play with compositions of ambient structures, melodic elements, voice, landscape and particle based visuals. New media artist Alex van Giersbergen and sound artist Marloes van Son (born in NL, based in Helsinki) combine efforts in this audiovisual collaboration.
ALOES has performed around Europe, notable gigs include Piksel Festival (Bergen, NO), Inversia Festival (Murmansk, RU), Art Fair Suomi (Helsinki, FI), Lofoten Sound Art Symposium (NO), Noisefloor festival (UK), STEIM (NL), SMC2017 (FI) and DASH festival (Helsinki, FI).
