Alpha Maid's musical output lies somewhere between avant-garde and pop. Over the course of EP releases 'Spy'(2019) 'CHUCKLE'(2021), as well as a self-released joint EP with Mica Levi called 'spresso'(2023) – (now the name of their power trio band with drummer Zach Toppin), Alpha Maid has developed an aesthetic that draws from grunged-out guitar, lo-fi glitch, noise audio sample electronics and potent yet controlled vocal hooks,that deliver incisive observations of human behaviour and society, in the process becoming a key figure within London’s subterranean music community.

The artist will work at Gessnerallee for two weeks to explore the sound, visual and narrative world of new unreleased compositions. To conclude the residency, Alpha Maid invites the audience to a concert at Nordflügel, where she will be joined on stage by Sebastien Forrester and Oli Haylett, to trailer themes from Alpha Maids forthcoming full length release.
