Our philosophy continues to be one of sharing conversations that urge a critical questioning of the lack of accessibility and diversity within the far-reaching topic of sonic practice, as well as strengthening communities through exchanging resources.

Collaborators and participants worldwide contribute to each Sound bath, bubbling up a concoction of offerings, unfinished thoughts and conversations with sound makers. Additionally, the mix is punctuated by excerpts of tracks made within the Foldable Sounds Project; the email chain, sonic equivalent of the Exquisite Corpse drawing game, upon which the collective was founded.

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.
