Information
Introduction
Geo Aghinea (b. 2001, Romania) is a London-based experimental producer, composer, and vocalist whose distinct identities shape an unconventional framework, designing immersive sonic experiences that merge bold electronic textures with ethereal vocals.
Geo’s inspirations draw from their roots in traditional and microtonal music, alongside their exploration of gritty, brutalist, underground queer communities in a post-communist landscape. Growing up listening to their grandmother's generational chants, this early experience has shaped Geo’s distinct way of singing that is present in their productions.
Adding yet another dimension to their influences is Geo’s experience as a musician with severe hearing loss, using hearing aids to hear, which has informed their unique auditory perspective and further shaped their sound design and vocal expression.
Echoing their genderless identity, Geo’s soundwork challenges traditional genres, defined by transcendental soundscapes and sonic self-craft. This is evident in their debut left-field EP I'll Hand You A Hand (2023) and their upcoming body of work, Gynodioecious (2025).
