LUMINANCE is the solo project, created in 2012 in Brussels, of Belgo-French musician and producer Dea Hydra. As current member of Soror Dolorosa and Emptiness, Dea has long been involved in the goth and metal scenes before developing a more personal way into dark wave and synthpop territories. His love for sounds and machines also lead him to collaborate as session musician with Position Parallèle and Sylvaine. Following a series of releases in labels such as Weyrd Son Records, Artoffact Records, Objetrouvé or Medical Records, he toured extensively in Europe and up to Lebanon and Russia.

Despite roots that plunge into the darkest and thorniest forests, the music of Luminance always strives to let rays of pure emotion through its stormy and threatening skies . The bittersweet melancholy of his compositions crystallizes in explosions of color and sophisticated sound textures that make each track a true journey worthy of the soundtrack of a fantasy epic. His sensitivity and skills make him a regular collaborator, through his "Les Jardins de Verre" studios, as a mastering engineer and producer for Objetrouvé, Tonn or Kernkrach labels, as well as for various bands and projects.

Luminance released its last two albums on Berlin's very own Objetrouvé label.
