Hi, I’m Alana.
I am a sound and performance maker interested in liveness, collaboration, and creative technologies.
I create improvised experimental vocal music as alone-a. As a drummer and vocalist, I’ve performed in several bands. I was also a core company member of devised theater ensemble Umbrella Collective.
In my day job as Director of Content and Communications at Arts Midwest, I amplify stories of Midwestern creativity. Before that, I led marketing at The Cedar Cultural Center and Bedlam Theater.
I’m currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

My debut album as alone-a, out now on Bumpy Records
a veil, a prism foregrounds the human voice while digitally fracturing, refracting, and reshaping it in real time.
Built from live vocal improvisations recorded in Minneapolis and Chicago between 2023 and 2025, the album explores memory and transformation through layered delays, unstable loops, and intimate vocal textures.
