About Aja
After a creative break in Morocco dedicated to sound experimentation, she released her first EP Solitaire in 2019, followed by Ajasphère Vol.I, a compilation of ambient tracks released over the course of the moons. Back in France, she accompanied Jacques on stage and also explored the harp with Le Radeau Consort. A winner of a residency at the Villa Medici in 2024, she developed an imaginary audiovisual herbarium there before unveiling her new album Ajasphère Vol.II, which was presented to a sold-out Boule Noire. Her latest EP, Variations sur Absolune, was born spontaneously in the studio when Piezanowski played the theme of Absolune on the guitar, subsequently giving rise to seven unique reinterpretations of this piece by different musicians, including Sébastien Forrester, Variéras, and Mami Konishi. Aja's creative process stems from her encounters and experiments; currently in the midst of developing her next album, she allows herself to be guided by opportunities and collaborations, much like this latest EP. Aja will release a new EP in 2026 in collaboration with Japanese artist Mami Konishi.
