Masma Dream World is the experimental project led by Bhakta artist, music producer, butoh performer and sound therapist Devi Mambouka.
With roots in Gabon and Singapore, Mambouka is a child of the world. She recalls rainforest rituals and the presence of ghosts and spirits throughout her childhood in Gabon before immigrating to NYC.
Masma Dream World invokes , magic, and healing as a form of worship to the universal Dark Mother Kali in her latest album. Blending drone, bass, noise, percussion, and voice with the use of experimental electronics, field recordings, synthesizers and effects to create devotional soundscapes for deep listening. Trained in butoh for the past decade, Devi invites you to participate in cathartic ceremonies and sound-healing rituals.
The sophomore album was released in February 2025 to critical acclaim, including a coveted spot on the cover of The Wire Magazine.
The album was born from an extensive period of time spent deepening her spirituality through meditation, Hindu mysticism, and Advaita Vedantic texts.
MDW ceremonies have been performed at international festivals such as Le Guess Who?, REWIRE, Transmission Waves Festival, DUNK, Raw Power Festival, and Afrofuturism Festival presented by Carnegie Hall, just to name a few.
Latest releases:
September 2025 - "A grave in a lucky Site" EP
February 2025 - "Please Come To Me" Album
"music rooted in drones and ritual rhythms..like a visitor probing a dark cavern, occasionally knocking something loose that clatters noisily into the void" - New York Times
"a strange, discomfiting document of the singer-composer’s energy..tangles together traditional African sounds and rhythms with Western electronic styles ranging from ambient to harsh noise" - The FADER
"a divine, spectral source of unease..“mother” is the only lyric in the song, but it hits you like a paragraph, rummaging through your skin until it crawls" - Paste Magazine
“A matrix of lucid electronics.. On PLEASE COME TO ME, Masma Dream World plumbs the abyssal depths of the divine feminine, charting a path of devotion to the Mother Kali” - The Wire ‘Cover Story’

‘Nguento combines modular synthesis with folk percussion, accordion drones, song, and chant; meditating on the ancestors and considering an assimilation-free existence. The alchemy of ‘nguento derives its potency from homemade electronic instruments and Wes’ personal research into the songs, language, and folk traditions of his Southern Italian and French-Canadian ancestors. Field songs are reimagined and spells are cast in dialect. Simmo ‘nzurti.
