NEXCYIA is Berlin and Paris-based sound artist, and experimental ambient musician whose compositions seamlessly blend immersive sound design and textural soundscapes using elements of noise, granular synthesis, found sounds, and rhythm. Also known as Adam Dove, his work traverses various moods and emotions, delving into themes of otherness and belonging. Using an approach of layering and manipulating archival audio sourced and compiled from home videos and the deep corners of the internet, his process results in ever-evolving pieces that invite listeners into a captivating sonic journey.

Dove has performed numerous venues, including Barbican Centre, Institute of Contemporary Art, Cafe OTO, and Chisenhale Gallery in London, as well as appearing on platforms such as NTS and BBC Radio. He has performed with the likes of Caterina Barbieri, Kali Malone, and Ulla and has been selected as part of SHAPE+ Platform 23/24. The second NEXCIYA album, Exodus, was released via MIlan’s Haunter Records, while other releases include their Endless Path of Memory debut full-length via Barcelona’s Pensaments Sònics, and EPs on London labels like Alien Jams and Cafe OTO’s in-house Takuroku.
