Foldable Soundbath #2

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.

In sonic waters once again, this episode begins with the archives of electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, and joyously ends on her infectious narration of manipulating - folding? - sounds. Interlaced with whispering lullaby vocals and crackling whirrs, before hazy mornings in the garden and a celebration of rain on our skin, this mix is one to lie down to, lights low, and let it cleanse.

Featuring wondrous Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser, London based performer and composer, we explore Queerness in music and electro-acoustic improvisation. Let this evening's rhythms wash over you.
