Bradley (b. Iran) is an artist engaging with listening, language and the environment.  Her research-based practice spans the mediums of performance, broadcast, installation and sculpture. Core methodologies revolve around experimentalism, deep listening and exercises in modes of communication and reception.Bradley’s works employ treated found objects, textiles and electronics. Her live performances stage interplays between architecture, public space and history, provoking and repositioning the listener, questioning our sense of self and our place within both society and nature.

“Exploring a music of presence and ultra subtle inference, ‘Fringe’ is the 2nd release by Ledesma, student of Berlin’s estimable Universität der Künste, following from a debut for Enmossed x Psychic Liberation earlier this year. Using AMQR – a software synthesiser built by Ledesma together with Ess Mattisson – both pieces here shimmer with elusive timbres that occupy a realm that feels lost between worlds – neither electronic nor acoustic, but more a sort of observational sound that radiates togetherness and warmth.

Operating at insightful levels of synaesthesia, Ledesma poetically turns ostensibly humdrum sources into clouds of smoke – emails, voicenotes, walking along the water, a poem attached to an email, walking alone in New York during lockdown, going for a swim at sunset in the desert – all turn into a smudge of memory. When ‘Beamsplitters’ opens with a tangible human presence – a voicemail from a friend – it startles with its earthly pull, eventually getting lost in a tangled spool of found sound leaving just a trace of iridescent, intimate reverie.

On ‘Golden Mirror’ Felisha gently diffracts a lonesome guitar phrase into a humming thizz with a steeply uncanny ability to jog the memory in a similar way to how olfactory stimulus can conjure feelings of nostalgia. It’s a trick familiar from an emergent new realm of lower case composers creating something like submerged, small scale symphonies that work counter to notions of classical excess or anodyne ambient, instead focusing on microcosmic, highly peronalised sort of worldbuilding that’s impenetrable, yet somehow entirely open.”

Hannah Wallis is an artist, curator and researcher based in the Midlands. Marked by an attention to the boundaries between making, performance, locality, curating and disability rights, Hannah’s practice exists at the intersection of these disciplines; concerned with how visual and performative knowledge production can inform and be informed by collectivisation, collaboration and long-term research cycles.

Collaborating under the moniker of Dyad Creative with artist Théodora Lecrinier since 2014, and supported by organisations including a-n, East Street Arts, National Centre for Writing, Kettle’s Yard, and Arts Council England, Hannah has led residency programmes and learning projects, developed interactive commissions and curatorial research, as well as managing several temporary artist-led spaces.
