SOPHIE: a non-stopping creative mind whose light will shine elsewhere


SOPHIE (or Sophie Xeon)  passed away in the early hours of Saturday 30th while she was trying to inmortalise a full moon from a balcony. Greek police testified at Sunday morning and said that the capture cost her life when a fatal slip provoked her an instant one-way ticket to Heaven directly departures from a third floor at her residency in Athens. She had epic soul voice, an inspired-LGTBI diva full of truth, hope and belief inside that made her unique in her style. Now we all left behind is her vibrant-detached tracks:


BIPP couldn't be more sophomoric, evocative Sound Engineering produced track which is perfectly over-bubbling enough to bring the attention to the well-fair acclaimed duo Autechre to fabric such a new mix filled with a low pitch (kind of UK Street Soul) with a vibe in it that works in the same way of the eighties freestyle-mellow voice. Like a 90s beat. This is the most epic combination till the date mate.


There is no doubt that descent into Hell was not going to be easy for an avant-garde artist like that. The track who follows-up Lemonade (McDonald's commercial inclusive) time is a famous breakthrough and collaboration with Charlie XCX lushed with a raw bass, dirty lyrics and hardly to say a special touch infused upside-down what Cardi B is. A final twist endless path that taste better off (anyway mate) to the insiders of the league of mainstream music.


The very first and only one LP. Creatively out-and-out smelling fresh dynamic balads such as It's Okay To Cry or the scary pumping hit Ponyboy. While the stroboscopic videoclip of Faceshopping (WARNING: IF YOU SUFFER PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY, BETTER NOT TO WATCH IT) is a noisy runway where soundscapes which are recorded equally as a mess in a noisy random kitchen. Fair enough. As Simon Reynolds stated for The Future Unfurled:


Discovery's legacy in PC Music has to be also considered:


They were also a couple of unofficial singles not included on Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. An inconsiderable source of inspiration for the generation Z:




Also I leave a link (from German-franc Arte TRACKS Youtube Channel) about how much influenced in electronic modern era:
