First Light's Third Space #6 - Sunna Margrét & Anna Clegg

This show was created by Sunna Margrét (Lausanne) and multimedia artist, Anna Clegg (London).

Margrét’s half of the show, “Lullabies of Lac Léman”, brings together intimate sound recordings and music written by friends and musicians from her neighbourhood in Lausanne. The resulting mix is a captivating glimpse into a thriving art community that has been built on the banks of Lac Léman.

In the second half of the show, Clegg weaves together a personal archive of material spanning from late 2017 to the present day recorded in galleries, cinemas, clubs, bedrooms and buses throughout London.

In her own words: “Seldom used to record directly, my recording device was held outside windows, behind doors or at the back of the room as a DJ played at the front. Caught somewhere between fantasy, impression and occasional embodied reality (there are multiple interferences in the form of my own nervous laugh), the recordings attempt to present a version of time that is malleable, elastic.”


Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

For six years, Nathan Jenkins was part of Australian extreme metal band The Amenta, known for their refusal to fully commit to any sense of what a metal band should be.

In this episode of Out From Under, Stuart Buchanan talks to Nathan about this transition and his highly ritualistic approach to music making, as well as his role as curator for the upcoming two-day event, Black Mountain.
