eclipse.xiv is a dynamic electronic producer & composer with a focus on world-building. Born in San Francisco and active across the Bay Area, she has spent the last few years building a sprawling discography featuring 4 mainline albums. Her work reckons with the apocalyptic times we are living in, viewing human society from two perspectives. The first: San Francisco in the year 2100, geographically divided between a surveillance state and a grassroots autonomous zone. The second: an archival museum staffed by spirits and machines, set 10,000 years after the extinction of humanity. She is also an aspiring game developer, with the dream of translating the digital, video game-inspired aesthetics of her work into a full fledged indie RPG.
