Masma Dream World:
With roots in Gabon and Singapore, Masma Dream World is the experimental project led by artist and healer Devi Mambouka.
Masma Dream World invites listeners into a deeply personal and transformative sonic ritual. Her music is an elemental longing, an invocation to ancestors, and a communion with nature, designed to transport you into a scary yet thrilling forest at night.
Her sound meticulously explores the tension between eerie, deep bass and percussive, deconstructed elements, creating emotionally charged atmospheres. Rooted in global bass cultures and her rich heritage, her unpredictable yet intentional compositions incorporate beats, bells, chants, and wails. Field recordings from ancient churches, natural landscapes, and intimate personal spaces blend with mystical practices, evoking a theta-wave meditation into the mind’s deeper crevices.
Masma Dream World’s music pushes the beautiful against the brutal, blending lullabies with cacophony. Songs like PLEASE COME TO ME are a beckoning into darkness, filled with primordial sounds and unsettling moments that put the audience in a trance. Her work is not merely heard but experienced, demanding participation in a gothic love affair with mystery and healing.
