Η Συνέντευξη :

How and what is the Avant Garde in the twenty-first Century? 

Whether it’s pioneering, experimental, or revolutionary as an idea either in art or elsewhere, it can seem to most people eccentric, extreme or sometimes shocking, but this is where the need for change and understanding of different ideas comes from.

I think the world will always find extreme with what they cannot understand!

* Who is Sekte and what is Sekte’s role in Vox Lila, as ‘she’ seems to write, produce and design everything? 

V0X LILIA is a one-woman band and Sekte is the woman behind this band.

Yes, I write, compose, record, produce and design everything on V0X LILIA.

I am also a member of Dark Awake.



* The connotation behind the album title, ‘Monotony Murder’

Monotony Murder is a symbolism and a sarcasm on peace.

It is the same crime committed for the hundredth time.

Is the everyday monotony of the existence and the loss of life.

The crimes that made from the taken decisions by the governments.

It’s the way of thinking incited by religion and politics and the crimes against women, children, animals and minorities.

It is the monotonous sound recorded when you see, read, learn, experience the same thing, with different protagonists, but always with the same result..

* In what ways do you relate to human kind? 

I believe, I do not belong to the masses.



* Can you explain your music video for “Exorcism” 

People are controlled and restricted for the most part of their life by others, who decide for them. Teachers, doctors, religion, politics, motherland, etc. are catalytic factors that determine how you think.

Exorcism is something that everyone has to do on oneself to be able to be released.

* Is the song Exorcism a reference to yourself, “Exorcise the evil within me” are you requesting to anyone in particular?

I refer to mankind in general and to each one individual. Let’s take as an example how we treat animals.

We very often see cute labels of animals on products such as a cow smiling whilst, we all know that the animal is sacrificed and suffers. So you know it’s an oxymoron, but you prefer not to think more or worry about that. What I want to say is that we are part of and support a civilization that is deceiving and false, and this is the “evil within me”.

Quotes της Συνέντευξης από την Σελίδα

* Can you help me understand more about your music, which you have eloquently described as sociological paranoia experimental noise? 

The lyrics in this album are in the form of messages. With their repetition I want to create intensity to the listener and in combination with the music, the frequencies that I use, as well as several sophisticated pauses, an insane paranoia in the listener’s mind as well as in my own, while I am composing.


* What types of people, do you think “dare” and “enjoy” to listen to your music? 

I am not addressing people who listen to music for fun, but to people who want to dive ‘deeper’ in their consciousness. And yes, this is a way that needs boldness to follow.

* Please tell me the connotations and inspiration behind the art work? 

My artwork is a stand against violence, the violence we exert on animals, sexual violence and sexual oppression, the fact that you are supposed to have a sexual identity or a specific way to see sex.

And of course woman’s sexual degradation and what world and society requires from her.

* Could you tell me a little about the project, V0X LILIA I.E what is your artistic intent? 

My intention is to talk through my music about what I care about as an entity and to express myself through it.

* How do you feel about social media ? 

There are many ways to look at it!

On the one hand it is a tool and it is up to you how you use it. On the other hand, it is also a way to control the masses and each one separately. We see it very strongly lately when suddenly your phone number and your name are required to join a webpage or to keep accounts that you already have.

So yes, I am angry with things and the way and reasons that we have been driven here.

It also seems to be a catalytic factor in our psychology and behavior; now and in the future.

* Inspirations and influences of any kind? 

The inspirations are many but mainly what is happening around us, such as people’s attitudes, and how we each one filter the situations we experience, depending on our perceptual ability to see reality as it is or to disregard it.

My musical influences are mostly old school noise/experimental and bands like

SPK, Psychic TV, Diamanda Galás, Throbbing Gristle, Premature Ejaculation, Cabaret Voltaire, The Residents etc.

* c. Where and how is the best place, or method to listen to your music? I feel it would be brilliant to hear your music in an empty room filled with speakers!

Every person is unique and should not be limited. Whatever method feels right for you to listen to my music, this is the best method! I’m delighted that you have found your own way to listen to my music.

*  What can we expect, next from, ‘Vox Lilia’? 

You never know! I don’t even know how the next release will be! But I will continue to write and record music so it remains to be seen.

VOX LILIA Review





Μία κριτική που έγινε για το μίνι άλμπουμ "MONOTONY MURDER"




των VOX LILIA από το Webzine  LUX ATENEA 
(μεταφρασμένο στην αγγλική γλώσσα.)





" Reviewed edition: Digital album
Date of publication: October 2017
Record Label: AUTOEDITADO
Tracklist: 1- Telepathic Animal // 2- Communication // 3- Exorcism // 4- Monotony Murder
Artists: Sekte
Musical work: Sekte
Art work: Sekte
Technical data: Album produced by Sekte; mastered by Shelmerdine
Musical compositions that you will hear a thousand times: Each of these themes. Masterpiece




After the outstanding neoclassical album "Meseonas" (Twilight Records, TW 1.43, 2009) by Dark Awake, and their great and innovative album "Epi Thanaton" (Rage In Eden, Rage 94, 2013) creating a new style labeled "Music Apocalyptic Ritual "by Dark Awake, last October of 2017, VOX LILIA surprised us with an authentic avant-garde album within the noise and experimental scene entitled" Monotony Murder ". On this occasion, with Sekte as alma mater of VOX LILIA and with Shelmerdine in the technical work of mastering, they have given life to this impressive musical work of eclectic creative spirit where noise and experimental electronic music merge with the industrial, with passages sound high-tech ... to give structural shape and artistic sense to the four extraordinary themes that form the backbone of this album. Self-published in digital format through the official VOX LILIA website on Bandcamp, "Monotony Murder" has seen its cover adorned with this striking design created by Sekte, reflecting in this hard and mortifying visual aesthetics, VOX LILIA's musical composition line marked by the subjugating, by the brutal, by the dominant, and by the violent and bloody, hence the symbolic balance that presents with the title of this work. A stunning visual aesthetic that, like the innovative sound creation style shown by Sekte in this debut album, his attentive audition I'm sure will impress and captivate the music lovers of Lux Atenea Webzine related to these transgressive sound streams. With the birth of this album, in the noise and experimental scene an absolute conceptual revitalization is produced by acquiring a much larger musical complexity by broadening its sound spectrum under the influence of other styles whose musical parameters bordering on border with noise and with the experimental. This is the colossal artistic greatness that presents the album "Monotony Murder", especially after the magnificent technical work of mastering carried out by Shelmerdine where the saturations in the sound level and in the noise have been harmoniously compensated with the sound levels of the rest of planes musicals not so saturated, adding also a musical clarity and a sensory dimension to each theme capable of offering you a unique and very special sound experience. As special as the detail and forcefulness of each sound plane created by Sekte to give meaning to the musical superstructure that gives personality to each of these four themes.





Without delaying the wait, we began the audition of this musical jewel entering the first "Telepathic Animal" theme, where the psychic connection will be recreated immediately from the first two experimental sound planes that open this composition, gradually acquiring the unmistakable sound character noise with increasingly higher frequencies and sound levels located punctually at the limit. But Sekte, in addition, incorporates a vocal plane to this composition as if it were an alchemist directing his most valuable and revolutionary experiment, becoming increasingly consolidated this musical undulation that moves energetically between the experimental and the noise while the sampler remains as background. Pure electronic musical vanguard opening new frontiers. Subsequently, the theme "Communication" will surprise us with a phantasmagoric initial setting that will quickly lead to Sci-Hi environments, creating an atmosphere that reminds us of the soundtracks of science fiction films of the fifties and sixties , but mixed with innovative experimental passages where the sound interruptions only sharpen our hearing before the imminent musical surprise that will arise. With a duration of four minutes, the theme "Communication" gives us the feeling of being much shorter compared to the first topic, although it lasts practically half the time. A feeling that will be reinforced as soon as we enter the subject "Exorcism", much more extreme and emotionally sharp, and with a more relevant and direct industrial background where the vocal plane remains sound translucent in the background. A feeling of overwhelm, psychological discomfort, and restlessness caused by the forceful stimulation of the senses that makes your hearing an entire experience. A mental mortification that, in the theme "Monotony Murder", presents a sonorous versatility and an amplitude in the frequencies used that impresses, covering the environment with the wild fog of the hunter in search of his prey ... of his confused and trusting prey . A musical closing of authentic luxury for this unforgettable album. "Monotony Murder", in this second decade of the 21st century, in Greece an authentic avant-garde masterpiece is born again within the underground electronic scene conceptually pioneering. Enjoy it!!!
