Information
Introduction
Geo Aghinea (b. 2001, Romania) is a London-based experimental producer, composer, and vocalist who designs immersive sonic experiences where raw electronic textures meet ethereal, siren vocals.Their sound is shaped by a deep connection to their upbringing - rooted in microtonal and heritage-based sounds - while pulsing with the energy of brutalist underground queer scenes in post-communist Eastern Europe. Growing up listening to their grandmother’s chants, Geo developed a hauntingly distinct vocal style that is present in their productions.
Geo also brings a unique perspective to sound itself. As a musician with severe hearing loss, their reliance on hearing aids isn’t a limitation but a tool - reshaping their understanding of frequency, space, and texture. This heightened awareness has influenced both their production choices and vocal delivery, adding a tactile, almost physical quality to their sound.
Geo’s genre-defying work is an extension of their identity - fluid, boundary-pushing, and transformative. This is evident in their debut left-field EP, I’ll Hand You A Hand (2023), and with Gynodioecious (2025) coming soon, Geo is set to push sonic experimentation even further.
