Coming soon – Beginning 2025
Kairosity: the space where you feel the time when forgetting about time itself. Drawing inspiration from her Egyptian and Dutch heritage and her studies in world music, Mirna Attia explores the in-between space: between friction and flow, acoustic and electronic, raw and polished, strong and vulnerable, freedom and structure. A sonic sanctuary for connection and reconnection—with each other, yourself, and your environment.
Naveya is a collaboration of three musicians, connecting their instruments, to the world of electronics, forming a new species of immersive music altogether. Psychedelic Ambient & Tribal music compositions, fused together through electronic and acoustic improvisation.
Naveya started in November 2016 and has released 2 albums; Maheya and Duality II(double album) and played live at several festivals like Ozora , Dakini and Everness festival since.
They are inspired by mystical sounds from the east and driven by ecstatic tribal percussion. All these influences merge in a rich alchemy of sound, moving from stillness to ecstasy.
PRĄD | DRIVE
Vocal Ensemble
The inevitable.
The energy that powers everything.
Call it flow, force or current.
PRĄD is a vocal ensemble, that celebrates Sofinka’s Polish heritage.
PRĄD is a reflection of Sofinka, it’s all or nothing.
An embroidery of tiny melodies that are driven to grow big.
A space where consonance meets dissonance,
where big meets small, where the vulnerable is brave and strong.
The PRĄD that flows between all of us,
once we go it has to come out.
Solo Work
‘Mirna’s music bringing her vocals, unique instruments and live electronics to create a grounding and elevating sound painting. Sailing with the waves of sound from Egypt to northern India to the south of Finland back to herself. Musically guiding you to connect to yourself, your body and to others around you.’ -Yarun – IX Cacao Winter Solstice Celebration
Sound Design
The technical side of music is fascinating to me. It’s like entering a different dimension. Here I can alter acoustic sounds into the way it’s existing in my mind. I do a lot of sound design in both my band as in my solo music that you can hear here. I recently made music for the podcast in dutch ‘Als de muziek er al is’. Meaning when the music is already there. It’s about innovation in music education. Here I edited the already recorded sound, created the intro and outro tune and mixed every episode.
Music and Sound design for short films
“Tying The Knot” symbolizes a ritual of reconnection with nature and culture. Made from rattan and cheesecloth, it embodies a holistic connection with the environment and encourages self-reflection. This project is a testament to the delicate dance between humanity and the natural world, a dance that has increasingly come under pressure in the Western context.
On a personal level, “Tying The Knot” is rooted in the artist’s own journey of discovery, fueled by childhood memories, cultural heritage, and a deep reverence for the natural world. Through this project, she aims to inspire others to embark on their own quest for meaning, inviting them to reflect on how their past experiences and cultural identities shape their view of the world around them.”

Interactive & Immersive Theatre Performances
‘Syandana’
Syandana is an interactive and immersive experience performed in April 2018 in Musiikkitalo Helskini. Mirna’s fascination for both technology & music came to fruition in Finland. Here she created an interactive performance where the body painter could influence the sound. She created an interactive paintbrush Using Arduino, Max MSP and Ableton, in which she could map to anything she wanted to change the sound.
‘Duality II’
Duality II is an interactive immersive experience performed in February 2019 in Kytopia, Utrecht. It was Mirna’s graduation performance and the second album release of Naveya. Here she brought the worlds of dance, circus, dramaturgy, scenography, theatre, visual art, sound design and different styles of music together. Creating Duality II Mirna worked with a team of 27 people. One of the dualities explored in this piece was the thin line of illusion and reality. For this experience she was granted a fund by the organisation musicamaxima.
