Alyx Dennison

 

Alyx Dennison is a singer-songwriter, composer and sound artist living and working on Wangal and Gadigal land. She was one half of beloved experimental pop duo kyü alongside Freya Berkhout, releasing two critically acclaimed albums before disbanding on a high in 2012. In 2015, her debut solo LP was lauded as a marked evolution from her previous work, with music journalist Kate Hennessy writing of her “ability to take pain to the loom and spin it into pure light”. 

Since then, Alyx has established herself as a highly versatile composer and sound artist, moving across contemporary art, dance, film and theatre. She has written original music for Belvoir St Theatre, Griffin Theatre, Sydney Dance Company, Australasian Dance Collective - as well as some of the country's most exciting choreographers and performance makers, including Charmene Yap, Cass Eipper, Thomas E.S. Kelly, Taree Sansbury and Sara Black. In 2022, she scored Lauren Brincat's large-scale performance project Other Tempo, for the Sydney Opera House and Vivid Sydney. 

In 2022, Alyx released her anticipated sophomore LP, Fine. Good. Great. Super.

Alyx collaborated with Yolanda Lowatta and Cass Mortimer-Eipper to create music for Nataptedi, an A_PART commission.
