Alvidrez - Antiphon (2024)

Alvidrez is a composer and writer based in Glasgow. In California, the artist grew up surrounded by sunshine, beaches, and mountains—and most notably, was homeschooled by a deeply faith-driven family. Throughout their life, they were embedded in church worship groups and choirs, learning to play music in front of a crowd through this formative experience. After years of dedication to the church, their faith crumbled down in their university years, due to fundamental disagreements with the church’s deeply conservative values and ideological fallacies. During this time, they traded worship bands for rock bands—playing show after show in L.A. and finding faith in not religion but in music and underground communities.
