Viah’s first musical offering, Tears of a Giant, is an invitation into an intimate, fragile world of an intense feeler, reflecting on the themes of identity and solitude whilst wrapped up in the grand electronic composition of Jiří Burian. Born in Prague to Vietnamese parents, Viah is a student of Fine Arts Experimental Media, thanks to which she gets to enter the fields of interdisciplinary performance, working with new media such as video art, animation, and audiovisuals, in combination with the performative practices of dance, and physical theatre. The debut album is diverse in its sound, as the tracks morph from whispery piano melancholia to monumental dancefloor burners. It marks Viah’s ascendance in electronic and avant-pop music, with a detectable inclination towards experimental music. Viah’s delicate voice is accompanied by guests’ vocals of Justin Lavash, and Niro Baits.
