Heidi Elva is a sound and visual artist from New Zealand living in Melbourne, Australia.

Heidi creates soundscapes using a laptop, a harp, vocals, minimal beats, iphone, effects and samples.

Her music comes out of time spent delving into deep imagery from mystical influences and listening to the movement around her - the wind howling around the outside corners of her apartment, the entangled lovers fighting next door or an early morning train along the tracks.

Heidi is driven by a fascination with tribalism and futurism, the moon and the stars, superstitions and the elements. Fusing these parts together, it all eventually comes out in unique dreamy sonic landscapes.
