Ailen (pronounced “i-len”) is a London-based alternative / progressive rock artist & composer. Inspired by the likes of Pink Floyd, Queen, Steven Wilson and more, her music draws from the schools of 70s progressive rock, symphonic rock, as well as film music traditions. Ailen blends thought-provocative lyrics with powerful vocals and larger-than-life guitar arrangements and solos, to create a compelling and energetic musical journey that explores topics of existential loneliness, individual and social corruption, trans and post-humanism, social structure and class, and more. On stage, Ailen’s music comes to life with Liane Silva on Main Vocals and Bass, accompanied by talented musicians Thomas Miezenbeek and Lisa Marie on Guitars, Gonçalo Carvalho on Keys and Backing Vocals, and Louis MacFarlane on Drums.
