In the Round: Ana Roxanne

On 4 June 2026 at ICA Bookstore in London, Ana Roxanne brings the songs of Poem 1, a new chapter where her voice steps forward. First known for ambient and electroacoustic layers, she now pares the palette back to muted piano, spare bass and unhurried rhythms, letting phrasing, breath and timbre carry the weight. Pieces like Berceuse in A-flat minor and Keepsake sit between ballad and nocturne, while Untitled II drifts into a slow, dreamlike pulse.

Born in California and rooted in a Filipino-American community, Roxanne came up through jazz and choral training, later folding in Hindustani technique and experimental practice at Mills College. That mix still threads through her live set: sustained tones, close harmonies and a quiet attention to space. The performance leans on clarity rather than effects; melodies arrive plainspoken, memories surface and recede, and each silence counts. A focused, intimate moment with an artist refining her craft in real time.
