    We refuse to settle for what we have been given, we are coming together to imagine and enact new and better pleasures, other ways of being, and ultimately new worlds. The desire to learn magic is very much tied up with my feeling that the world is in desperate need of change. Ambitious new identities are forged, with limitless potential for unlocking endless gender expression… entangling our dreams, fears and identity with nature. Find your creature and claim your superpowers! We will create a community amongst the chaos of this world, make cross-species alliances and make a new one.

Just Happier 04:18
A normal day of winter sun and summer rain I had a black canvas And black colours So I painted the black canvas black, blacker So my thoughts exploded Some burnt down We haven’t yet discovered the new The more I will meet the more I will miss My heart is not with me not all of it It will never fully belong to me Home has been spread apart I miss time If only I could gather it Clocks become unfaithful Why can’t the blue sky be bluer? Why can’t the blue sky be bluer? Why can’t the blue sky be bluer? I want to feel strangers are friends I want to feel love I want to be Beautifully human Not terribly human I just want to be happy, happier I just want you to be happy, happier I believe we can be happy, happier than we ever were before
2.
The sad, the heavy, the anxious Take it off, it’s time for a rest, leave it in the depth Swimming up to brighter blues For ambitious future adoring 
I left behind the loving and loved To find out what is hidden Behind tangled truths and confusions Do we want to see, or would we not? Shadows become alive to nurture fights It’s crumbling, an emergency Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Hysterical hearts are hungry To be reborn, to rewild, vulnerable inside Glaciers are the soul of a generation Between the yesterday and tomorrow Horizons all around, thoughts wonder away And don’t find their way back Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Fatality Summoning empathy
Come close
Touches of Savage emotionality

Scream It 04:04
I’ll not say it in your face In your waiting ears It would be shy I hope you feel it for now But one day it will be stronger I’ll scream it, scream it into the future and You’ll hear the echo Of an echo Of an echo Of an echo Of I love you There we shall unravel vulnerable hearts and bullied dreams so they can rave and give courage to each other Underground we build a safe space Anxiety and rage have to tangle and then to give birth to something beautiful Prisoners of dreams Prisoners of reality We meet in a possible future We need to kiss To make our pasts meet each other And strangle each other and You’ll hear the echo Of an echo Of an echo Of an echo You’ll hear the echo Of an echo Of an echo Of an echo Of I love you I dare you gaze into the flames, so powerful I dare you grow it loud grow it strong and powerful
4.
Heart Tattoo 04:04
I fall in love to never fall out of it again I’m storing every smile you smiled or tear you cried I have a collection of someone wonderful My existence in your heart is fertile Plants of paradise grow, higher and higher This is all one can have Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart I’m happy I have a heart full immortal love Your feelings fall over me like a waterfall
I bathe in them, I want to shout into the world you are the best How I love to say / I love you / to you I want to love you as much as I am capable of Our skin merges, grows into each other I want more, give me more If one day the sun won’t go up for you I’ll go behind the horizon and carry it up for you Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart Baby, I want your tattoo on my heart I’m happy I have a heart full immortal love

Sunscar 04:01
I always thought that sunsets are beautiful But today I heard her whisper That it’s painful, painful Each time she falls on the horizon She hurts herself Blood drenches the sky before darkness Please help the sun she’s bleeding to death Please help the sun she’s bleeding to death The sun is dancing in slow motion Waiting for someone to join her dance But she is too hot too hot Already far too dizzy from doing the same turns It’s the order of things At night she corrupts, it’s contagious Please help the sun she’s bleeding to death Please help the sun she’s bleeding to death Please help the sun she’s bleeding to death Please help the sun she’s bleeding to death Arrogance Not caring on what scenes she spreads her rays on With what hot fingers she encloses iced hearts I don’t want the power to hurt someone But power is hard cause you, you need to do something with it You are attractive, you seduce me Until it gets too hot
6.
Dead Angel 05:48
For you I sang my first love song, we started life together In your arms, a hiding space from monsters I, emotionally naked, became me You were monumental, you saved my belief Like children, we played the game of love I hoped we have forever, beautifully in love After the best kiss I murdered the angel I made it bleed Baby I know we will cry, I wish I could collect each tear and water flowers They will bloom because of our sadness, the sadness of leaving paradise Show me where you are hiding, I want to be close and heal your wounds I’m sorry, life without you is so surreal I miss you for the rest of my life, the way you loved me After the best kiss I murdered the angel I made it bleed, ah And I stabbed myself in the heart by hurting the being I loved the most A wound bigger than myself Maybe, maybe I’ll realise too late that you were the one to share my life with Maybe, maybe you are the precious one I should never let you go, maybe I’ll regret Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe Maybe I’ll be strong enough without you, into loneliness, loneliness, loneliness, loneliness, loneliness I wanted to climb Himalaya but with you I was happy on a hill Old dreams come back The me without you It’s time to meet her I stand on top of a mountain All possibilities in my hands Knowing it’s as easy as I am here Just me with all to come With a life to live An unusual degree of freedom The wind is playing with my hair It’s my new lover for now I’ll find a way to keep you alive in my life, I promise My heart beats me My heart beats me
7.
Give me back that heart Give me back that heart I’m fighting nothing, I’m fighting nothing, nothing take shape ///// When the eyes of sense are tiger’s eyes, the all is threatening to disappear Where did my feelings go?
8.
Magic Fish 05:16
_______________ SPELL I am vomiting out memories, memories How can surreal love feel so real Your truths expired, love in the dustbin You never felt the love I felt, why can’t you be different? Magic fish is freed into the ocean into depths to get lost It was cruel, terrifying, what to fear and what to love Veins of bodies begin connecting with waters of mother earth Cried for me, now feel for all Oh where can one be found in an ocean so big 
Serving my heart for a feast meal With deadly hunger we ate, but you have diarrhoea The sun is hunted by the butcher To be the next meal for all of us at the wedding of life and death Magic fish is freed into the ocean into depths to get lost It was cruel, terrifying, what to fear and what to love Veins of bodies begin connecting with waters of mother earth Cried for me, now feel for all Oh where can one be found in
9.
Fantasy 03:52
The most beautiful me for you Hearts hungry for magic Romantic like world champions Emptiness filled with feelings Play my heart like you play your piano I’ll applaud with kisses It’s a half dream I’m living in Melting away like an ice cream One wanted to keep Decorated everything with fantasy We’ve been tourists in paradise Love has been the aeroplane Gods play us love songs Stars our disco balls Thunder, earthquakes, volcano eruptions My world becomes transparenter If someone’s dreams are too good to be true They’ll need to die The night is still my kingdom Dreams get born in the dark and die in day I’ll watch dreams on TV Gods play us love songs Stars our disco balls Thunder, earthquakes, volcano eruptions Gods play us love songs Stars our disco balls Thunder, earthquakes, volcano eruptions Thunder, earthquakes, volcano eruptions

What a dramatic existence in your heart
10.
If you want to kill my dreams You, you, you have to kill me I don’t adopt identity I’ll form my own with imagination Pumping blood from shifting veins Pumping blood into erotic space Together, with you, with me Putting claws in dirty meat Rough, tender, back in nature I desire you, and you desire me Saying goodbye to being human Saying goodbye to being terribly human To be creatures To be creatures We’ll be part of wilderness Dreaming of better kisses Death and life fight to be close I will tangle with both of you Choose the right friend to fantasise What to do with all the future times Together, with you, with me Visions build new realities You can’t say no to passion I desire you, and you desire Muscles of freedom are being trained, are being trained Muscles of freedom are being trained, are being trained Muscles of freedom are being trained, are being trained Muscles of freedom are being
11.
Fuga Futura 05:15
I want to feel you, who we are, here, now, young in old times Appetite of beating hearts, and passing lives and blinking eyes Oh nature seduce, breathe out, I’ll breathe in
Breathe with me, euphoria, euphoria 
Climbing mountain peaks so high, that if we’d fall 
It will take us more than a lifetime, to hit the ground It awakens, hyper love, intimate, with meaning Bodies go where minds can go, to euphoria Fuga Futura Fuga Futura Wondering around vibrating landscapes, goodbye sad eyes Night and day approach, extract all dreams to give to dancing bodies New shapes expand, they are grown from our broken hearts And opened chests, I sense euphoria Fuga Futura Fuga Futura Fuga Futura Fuga Futura Fuga Futura Fuga Futura Fuga Futura

about

An emerging avant-pop artist & alpine witch, based somewhere/everywhere/nowhere between London & her native Toggenburg; Livia Rita is finally able to share her debut album FUGA FUTURA…

A collection of 11 songs of beauty & vulnerability that combine to create a world of dark fantasy, hope & mythology; where magic abounds & nature rebels. Livia sings an alternative realm into being. Though the exploration of fear, anxiety, desire, identity, ecology, love & community, Livia awakens the otherworldly within; claiming the future as a space for our utopian dreams to thrive at the edge of existence.

Sirenesque melodies combine with analog synthesisers, crunchy beats & recordings of reality from the natural environment of Livia’s pastoral origin to create the sonic landscape of the album. A coming of age journey, that stretches beyond pop, & delves deeper towards electronica; beginning from the soft cocoon of “Just Happier” reaching its mystical, sanguine conclusion in the title track “Fuga Futura”.

Alongside the creation of the album, Livia has been tirelessly cultivating a reputation for subverting music through her tantalising & adventurous live performances which, alongside musicianship; merge collaboration & brave choreography with beautifully self-sculpted wearables that serve to explore the oscillating relationship of gender & nature as we strive for inclusion.

“The future became my safe space. A place where I let my dreams rave in their vulnerability. FUGA FUTURA - which means to sort of flee into FUTURA or the future - it is a reflection of my personal journey to this point, which I wanted to share with you. I think dreaming and real life are two separated entities… and I find that creating or being creative is very much a bridge between the two. Forgetting about time, getting absorbed; body & mind, get carried away. This feels utopian to me to a degree… the world of FUTURA; home of my music, creatures & spells, places a layer upon reality.”

FUGA FUTURA is the gateway between this world and the next. Embrace its shimmering existential haze. Dream big, and delight in all that lies within.
