Welcome to circle&wind
Enter a realm where sound and vision merge in fluid harmony. Viola Petsch, the soul behind circle&wind, weaves atmospheric electronic music with intricate visual artistry. Her compositions blend delicate vocals, modular synthesizers, field recordings from whispering winds and distant waves, and subtle ambient layers—creating soundscapes that feel like drifting through endless horizons. Each track pulses with emotion, evoking introspection, transformation, and the quiet beauty of nature.
Complementing the music, Viola's visuals transform these sonic frequencies into tangible forms: swirling digital collages, generative animations that evolve like breathing organisms, hand-drawn glyphs inspired by ancient symbols, and looping motifs that mimic the circular flow of wind. This synesthetic practice invites you to feel the music visually and hear the art audibly. circle&wind is more than art—it's an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the invisible currents that shape our world.
Music: Immerse in the Soundscapes
Viola's discography is a evolving tapestry of singles, EPs, and collaborations:
- metamorphosis (2023): A deeply personal EP released on Christmas Eve, featuring tracks like "O" (a meditative reflection on letting go), "colors" (vibrant layers of synth and vocal harmonies exploring emotional spectra), and "ocean" (evoking vast, tidal movements with one-mic rawness). This collection marks a pivotal evolution, blending ambient pop with noir undertones.
- Singles & Sessions: Highlights include "Decisions" (introspective lyricism on choice and consequence), live one-mic renditions of "ocean", and generative sessions that capture the essence of improvisation.
- Collaborations: Featured vocals on ISON's "PENUMBRA" (2021), where her ethereal voice adds a haunting dimension to post-rock atmospheres.
Her music has been described as "melancholic pop noir"—intimate singer-songwriter moments wrapped in expansive, wind-swept production.
Visual Art: See the Sound
Viola's visuals are born from the same creative impulse as her music. Using tools like TouchDesigner, After Effects, and custom code, she generates:
- Looping Animations: Infinite cycles of circles dissolving into wind trails, synced perfectly to track rhythms.
- Digital Collages & Prints: Layered compositions of organic shapes, gradients, and glyphs that symbolize emotional flux—available as limited-edition fine art prints.
- Generative Pieces: Algorithmic art that evolves uniquely with each viewing, mirroring the improvisational nature of her live performances.
These works often serve as official visualizers, turning songs into hypnotic journeys where color shifts with melody and form breathes with bass.
