RELEASES
Amelia records original music under the name douze vitesses (“twelve speed” in French). Influenced by jazz, indie rock and experimental music, this project evolves looping vocals, guitar and percussion in ambient textures and enveloping landscapes of sound.
She’s also working on a debut EP album, and collaborates with local musicians on experimental projects. Follow her on Bandcamp for updates.
PROJECTS
Soundtrack for A Spell for Queer Home
In October 2022, Amelia released three tracks for the experimental documentary A Spell for Queer Home by SLC-based Amanda Madden.
About the film: “Braiding together embodied exploration, stories and wisdom from queer and trans folks across the country, and original spell songs, this film is a meditation and reflection on the question - what does it mean to be at home as a queer person? How do we know when we have arrived? How do we build and create queer home? How do we know in our bones that it is already happening? This film is a spell - the layers weave and stir to conjure a spell for queer home.”
Stay tuned for local screenings and live performances around this stunning documentary.
CURATORIAL PROJECTS & PERFORMANCES
In addition to playing and recording her own music, Amelia has been curating house shows and performing for more than five years. As a curator of house shows and artist collaboration, she's passionate about the power of intimate, emergent and non-commodified spaces of connection and attention. She’s particularly interested in collaborating across mediums, such as with dancers and literary artists.
