Heelstorm Psalm from Velvet Litany by Vogaria

A militant pulse drives "Heelstorm Psalm," built from the raw impact of footwork on the ballroom floor. You feel it in the percussive crack of heel clicks, sliced into snares that snap like an order given. This track puts you right on the floor as The Vogue Guard moves, their embroidered cassocks rigged with accelerometers. Live, it’s a spectacle where every dip and death-drop triggers new chordal swells, turning pure choreography into a cascade of MIDI data, a truly innovative way to translate movement into sound on stage. The contra-bassoon grounds the sub line, giving drops a primordial growl, while reverse-filtered break-loops whip through the mix. The collective 'lung' effect, that aggressive side-chain, stutters between phrases, forcing a gasp that feels like shared tension. It builds, the syncopated sub-lines lurching forward in bursts, then releasing into a fierce comfort, the sound of bodies standing shoulder-to-shoulder, defiant. This isn't just a song; it's a sonic armor, a testament to solidarity forged from confrontation, where every beat marks a reclaimed vow.

We're Vogaria. Opera voices, club rhythms, raw emotion. It's ballroom drama, our queer stories, loud and proud.
