Galya Bisengalieva

Galya Bisengalieva is a London-based violinist, composer, and electronic music producer known for her hauntingly beautiful soundscapes that blend classical precision with experimental textures. A first violinist of the London Contemporary Orchestra, she’s carved a niche in genre-defying work, collaborating with artists like Radiohead and Frank Ocean while crafting solo projects that feel cinematic and intimate. Her *Reflections* trilogy and *Polygon* series (including tracks like "Saryzhal" and "Balapan") weave ambient electronics with visceral string arrangements, often drawing inspiration from her Kazakh heritage and landscapes. She’s also dipped into film scoring, notably creating icy, atmospheric themes for Netflix’s *Hold Your Breath: The Ice Dive*. Whether she’s evoking vast Central Asian steppes or claustrophobic emotional depths, Galya’s music feels like a conversation between tradition and futurism—all anchored by her virtuosic violin chops.
