plus44Kaligula is the sonic guise of Cally Statham – an English songwriter, producer, composer, and performance artist from Oldham, UK. Drawing from the spectral depths of David Bowie, the haunting intimacy of Beth Gibbons, and the restless mutations of Aphex Twin, her music is a collision of dark theatricality and raw emotional force.

Statham crafts a world where bold, commanding vocals reign over shifting landscapes of liquid textures and fractured rhythms – collages of sound that summon something celestial yet deeply human. There’s an operatic intensity to plus44Kaligula’s work, yet it remains grounded in an earnest, visceral call.

Live, this vision takes shape with help from renowned set designer Emmanuel Biard (Snow Strippers, Evian Christ, Trance Party, Moon Duo, Blackhaine), where light, shadow, and form intertwine with sound. The result: a performance that merges spectral, experimental pop with a studied yet instinctive physicality – where movement, voice, and sonics coalesce into a hypnotic spectacle of sound and vision.
