Diatom Deli
Taos-based artist Diatom Deli, or Delisa Paloma-Sisk, is an experimental multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who began her devoted musical career in 2015 with the release of her debut album Feelsounds, and second album TQM (Te Quiero Mucho) in 2018. Her work is driven by ethereal sonic experimentation that comprises hypnotic loops, bright samples, and subtle melodies.
Diatom Deli has evolved as a project over the past six years while Deli traveled around the country delivering powerful performances utilizing classical guitar, layered harmonies, synths, and samples to catalyze celestial soundscapes and an immersive, transcendent experience. A diatom is a microscopic organism that helps humans and the environment maintain equilibrium, and Deli’s emblematizes this mechanism in her music through harmonic transmissions that recalibrate the spirit towards deeper renewal.
