NZIRIA is an experimental project by artist Tullia Benedicta, who aims to reinterpret the italian genre of neomelodic. Retaining its main forms and themes, which are often stereotyped, NZIRIA incorporates narratives from the LGBTQIA+ community and queer love stories. Combined with disruptive sounds inspired by hardcore, the artist builds a genre they call hard neomelodica, creating sonic spaces that enable self-determination and self-assertion.
