Deterritorialized sound artist. Currently Berlin based.
A tender, visceral and hallucinatory vaporization of sounds and feelings, an exploration of solitude amidst a hyper connected reality. Voices, guitars, strings, field recordings, electronics, all processed through various audio production techniques and whatever means available, aiming to balance intensity and intimacy, manifest an arcane and elusive sense of beauty within dreamlike sequences, re-imagining the world building potential of metal-adjacent aesthetics through a degendered lens.
Co-founder of label/platform ruego, theatrical performance unit Anonymous Dreamers and clothing brand Liminal Veil.

A metamorphic entity emerging from the rubble, St. Diamantista VII manifests itself between the pieces of wreckage and the signals of a solitary lighthouse. A disfigured reinterpretation of avant-garde black metal, ambient and power electronics, Diamantista's performance emanates from the intimate. As if trapped in an in-between, their atmospheric guitar and vocal tears conjure a vivid wound, a distant and confused dream.
LICITIR is a bond between Laurén Maria and Diamantista, two vocalists and producers whose stylistics leanings are as elusive as they are intuitive, emotional, ever exploring, tender and intense. They shift through cinematic soundscapes that filter gentle melodies through heartfelt corrosion, innocently weaving pop sensibilities forming a dense sonic haze drenched in tearful shards.
The vocal and instrumental panoply of .pastoral is established through an interdisciplinary practice. Composed of ErmenX aka Gabi Pedrosa and St. Diamantista VII, the duo experiments with perspectives. Their eclectic style emerges from bewitched swamps, between heightened indie-folk and post-metal, .pastoral adopts guitars, vocals, drums, sound collage and other instruments to tell narratives that are both tender and grotesque, inhabited by sensitive melodies and desperate incantations.
They have released two albums on their label ruego; funeral perpetuo del espíritu (2019) and un corazón mustio y marchito por culpa de las tribulaciones y los padecimientos (2022).
