<h2>Biography</h2>
<p>
Xena Vectra is the alter ego of synth goddess Bethany Barrett. Born in
the mountains of the Black Forest, and raised in sunny California, she
now resides in Berlin. Her unique style is inspired by synth-heavy film
soundtracks and italo disco, driven by her love of analog electronics.
</p>
<p>
As Xena Vectra, Bethany performs live using an all hardware setup, no
laptop. She is always looking for new projects involving sound design,
including film and game soundtracks, and is available for live bookings
throughout Europe. She also appears as one half of synth duo
<a href="https://lfolobster.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"
>Magisphere</a
>
and horror disco trio
<a href="https://xenavectra.com/pavone/" target="_blank"
>Pavone Cristallo</a
>.
</p>
<p>
A professional composer and sound designer, Bethany has scored
feature-length films, including the documentary
<i>Neues von Zuhause</i> (2021) and indie film
<i>Figaros Wölfe</i> (2017). In the art world, she created
<a href="https://asdf.us/sonifications/" target="_blank"
>data sonifications of gun violence</a
>
for artist Hito Steyerl's
<i>This is the Future / Power Plants</i> (2019, Venice Biennale),
<i>Drill</i> (2019, Park Avenue Armory, NYC), and
<i>SocialSim</i> (2020, Centre Pompidou). She scored Heather
Dewey-Hagborg's
<a

>Hybrid: an Interspecies Opera</a
>
(2022, MIT) for four singers.
