NOTH

LYRA (Lyra Mikkelsen-Nikolaidis) is the Oracle of NOTH-an artist drawn to instinct, symbolism and the emotional truths that often arrive before they can be explained.

Her music feels expansive and atmospheric, balancing clarity with mystery. Luminous electronic tectures, cinematic movementand expressive melodies create a world that feels both intimate and vast, as though every song is searching for somethingjust beyond the visible.

LYRA'S works explores intuition, direction, memory and the patterns we follow without always understanding why. There is a sense of natvigation throughout her music-not toward certainty, but towards recognition.

As the Oracle, LYRA does not offer answers , she observes, interprets and reflects. Her songs leave space for ambiguity, allowing meaningto shift depending on who is listening and where there are standing.

Within NOTH, Lyra represents the unseen compass-the instinct that tells us when to move, when to remain, and when something is about to change.

Voice & musical influences

Voice: Clear, luminous and composed, with an almost weightless quality that can move from intimate observation to soaring emotional clarity. Lyra’s delivery should feel intuitive rather than theatrical — as though she already understands what the song is discovering.

Sound: Atmospheric art pop, Nordic electronica, ambient pop, cinematic synths and restrained alternative pop, with occasional Mediterranean/Greek melodic colour. Her music uses repetition, space and gradual builds to create the feeling of recognising patterns and finding direction.

For musical influence the likes of AURORA, Agnes Obel, Susanne Sundfør, London Grammar, Loreen Röyksopp, Björk’s more crystalline work and Florence + the Machine at its most ethereal.

Style influences

Lyra blends Nordic minimalism with Greek classicism.

Designers  include Peter Dundas for Nordic-meets-Mediterranean glamour, Cecilie Bahnsen for ethereal Scandinavian volume, Acne Studios for modern Nordic restraint, and Greek designers such as Mary Katrantzou for a more symbolic or celestial statement.

«Ό,τι επαναλαμβάνεται, αποκαλύπτεται.»
What repeats itself reveals itself.

«Η αλήθεια πάντα βρίσκει τον δρόμο της.»
Truth always finds its way.
