Biography
Hailing from the depths of the underground music scene, The Allegorist is a visionary, enigmatic, transmedia and boundary-pushing artist known for crafting deep, immersive and intricate sonic tales. Embracing a wide array of influences, weaving together the mysteries, art, philosophy, symbolism and spirituality, The Allegorist defies categorisation. Inspired by her childhood dream of becoming an archaeologist, she embarks on a perpetual quest to discover the secrets and meanings of the world. Her innate lifelong passion for critical thinking, creation and discovery laid the foundation for her unique approach, resonating with those who seek the unconventional.
Centered around dark art and speculative fiction, including sci-fi and fantasy, The Allegorist sculpts experimental, cinematic, electronic music, visual art and metaphorical narratives. Embracing the dualism of light and darkness, past and future, life and death, the art project adopted a holistic mindset, seeking to sail into the unknown, preserve the secret wisdom and timeless teachings, while honouring the ancient values of Earth, human responsibility and the cycle of life. For an inclusive expression she crafted her fictional language Mondoneoh, employing symbolism as a method of universal communication, in line to her chosen name The Allegorist, which derives from the word allegory in literature.
With a background as a painter spanning for over a decade before venturing into the realm of music, the Hungarian-born, Berlin-based artist Anna Jordan is her own creative director, producer, engineer, visual artist and live performer for her DIY art project The Allegorist. Appreciating the significance of artistic autonomy, she works independently, self-releasing her output primarily via her own imprint Awaken Chronicles. Simultaneously she fosters a diverse collective spirit with like-minded people from all backgrounds and sectors.
