STROUD. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. UK.

MARIA W HORN

@mariawhorn is a composer whose work explores the inherent spectral properties of sound. Her compositions employ a varied instrumentation ranging from analog synthesizers to choir, string instruments, pipe organ and various chamber music formats. Synthetic sound is often paired with acoustic instruments in order to extend the instruments timbral capacities with precise control of timbre, tuning and texture.

Her debut album Kontrapoetik (2018) is a historical investigation, and a kind of counter-exorcism tackling the deceivingly serene, yet turmoiled past of her home region Ångermanland in the North of Sweden. Dies Irae (2021) derives from the resonant frequencies of an empty machine hall from the mining region of Bergslagen and Vita Duvans Lament (2020) is a sonic excavation of what used to be the only panoptic cell prison built in Sweden.

In addition to her artistic practice she is also the co-founder of Swedish record label @_xkatedral

afromerm

@afromerm is the solo project of @theoramawards award-winning composer and sound artist, Cecilia Morgan.

Her work draws from contemporary, jazz, and experimental disciplines, blending electronic elements with live instrumentation, field recordings, spoken and sung vocalisations, and her self-built motion-reactive instrument, Juniper, to create electroacoustic soundscapes that immerse us in the elemental mythology of her project.

afromerm has been platformed by BBC Radio 1 (described as a ‘sonic innovator’), BBC Radio 3, NTS Radio and The Line of Best Fit. Her live work has found local and international audiences at the likes of Le Guess Who? Festival, London Jazz Festival, ICA and Cafe OTO.

Composition credits under Cecilia Morgan span independent film, contemporary dance, theatre and fine art media, with notable clients including Tate and The Fitzwilliam Museum.

ŠIROM

“The Slovenian trio conjure strange beauty from a vast arsenal of global instruments on an album that hums, drones and dances with intense power.” - The Guardian

The intertwining of diverse musical approaches and tools, histories of sounds and unbridled musical imagination and craftmanship is the expansive guiding principle of the @siromband trio, whose members stem from the regions of Prekmurje, Tolminsko and Kras.

More than a dozen instruments can be found in the repertoire of Iztok Koren, Samo Kutin and Ana Kravanja. ‘In the Wind of Night Hard-Fallen Incantations Whisper’ is arguably the sharpest evocation yet of the group’s highly collective music process, enveloping rustic melodic folklore, outernational textures, non-linear song structures and dissonance, and a buzzing ambiance that can at times feel like an ecstatic ritual.

Few experimental ensembles from the last decade have created an ouevre as singular and unmistakable as that of this far-sighted trio from the disparate landscapes of Slovenia. Širom truly sound like no one else..
