Sculptural Rituals

With her dark, folkloric electro-pop sound, Aylin Leclaire takes us on journeys through other worlds and dimensions time and again. The German-Turkish musician blends intricate beats with her virtuosic voice to tell emotionally charged stories, where her personal life experiences intertwine with an otherworldly poetry. 

In her live shows the interdisciplinary artist fuses artistically sophisticated performances with elaborate stage designs to a body of art. 

Her debut album, “Sculptural Rituals“, released in 2022, explores the cycle of artistic creation on an intimate and deeply moving level.

Aylin Leclaire releases innovative debut album with holographic art 

In December 2022, Aylin Leclaire introduced her debut album „Sculptural Rituals“, offering a fresh and unique experience for music fans. Instead of traditional formats, Leclaire released her album as sculptural rituals in the form of holograms.

These sculptural albums are available in two unique forms: a DIY hologram pyramid that attaches to a smartphone, and a beautifully crafted ceramic sculpture designed to hold the phone. Each song features its own exclusive hologram video, accessible via QR codes. 

Leclaire‘s inventive approach adds a new dimension to music consumption, blending audio and visual art in a captivating way.

Terz und Tentakel – A Jellyfish Project by Verena Meis and Aylin Leclaire

For years, we’ve been writing songs about jellyfish – this time, we’re swimming against the far-right current.

Terz und Tentakel is an interdisciplinary music and performance project by Verena Meis (lyrics) and Aylin Leclaire(sound). Drawing inspiration from the radiant resilience of jellyfish, we create songs, stage designs, readings, installations, and immersive live formats – a fluid Gesamtkunstwerk exploring empowerment, diversity, and resistance.

Jellyfish are mesmerizing beings: composed of over 90% water, they can transform, regenerate, and glow. Their movements are rhythmic, poetic, and precise. They’ve been drifting through the oceans for millions of years – gentle, yet unstoppable. To us, jellyfish symbolize queer survival, adaptability, and collective intelligence.

In 2023, we released our first single, “Jellyfish Pizza” – a half-serious, half-playful take on culinary climate adaptation: jellyfish as food, as a mirror of ecological change, as a futuristic delicacy.

Mit „Quallen gegen Rechts“ folgt nun ein klarer Tentakel-Track gegen rechte Ideologien. Inmitten von Hass und Hetze stehen wir für eine andere Form der Kraft: leuchtend, vernetzt, vielstimmig

🦑 “Jellyfish Against the Far Right” is our sonic outcry against fascism. For us, music is a way to reclaim agency – to stay audible, visible, and emotionally present.
