ABOUT

AUNCE (pronounced Aunts/Arnts) creates bold, genre-defying music that challenges expectations and embraces sonic experimentation. Confrontational rhythms and visceral synths blend with intimate vocals, creating ethereal soundscapes that are both urban and otherworldly. Her work blurs the boundaries of pop, electronica, and sonic art, while exploring themes of nature, social issues, and human behavior. AUNCE’s music invites listeners into a world where genres fade, and sound becomes a journey and an experience.

Driven by an insatiable love of sound and its power to connect us, AUNCE seeks to express the inexpressible and explore the textures and feelings of both known and unknown worlds. As one of the most exciting emerging voices in genre-defying music, she continues to captivate listeners and collaborators alike.

Her debut track released in late 2024 Beep Beep has garnered critical acclaim, celebrated for its creativity and described as “sonically innovative” and “philosophically provocative.” Hailed as “boundary-pushing”, “genius”, and “enchanting”, the track exemplified AUNCE’s signature duality—grounded yet ethereal, visceral yet introspective—showcasing the bold artistry that defines her sound.

AUNCE is the moniker of vocalist, composer, beat maker and producer, Anna Edith Daly Edgington. She collaborates with other producers, musicians, sound artists, film composers, choreographers and theatre makers. She is also a researcher and educator, and gained a PhD that explored the lived experience of women-identifying music producers in Aotearoa, NZ.
