Linea Aspera Music & Merch
Linea Aspera comprises of the synths & programming of Ryan Ambridge
and the vocals of Alison Lewis aka Zanias. First drawn together in 2011 in
London through a shared passion for coldwave, minimal synth and
electronic body music and a collection of vintage analogue synthesisers,
their emergence was swift, with songs written over the course of just a few
hours at a time. 9 months of writing and recording in a student flat on
Caledonian Road culminated in the release of their self-titled album in
September, 2012 on Dark Entries Records. The album’s 8 tracks explore
themes of loss, revenge and renewal through scientific analogies, driven by
ice-cold melodies drenched in analogue warmth. After a short run of wellreceived
live shows in London and around Europe, the project was put on
hiatus until this year.
