A NIGHT OF NEW MUSIC & PERFORMANCE... including music from Laura Cannell's new solo album THE SKY UNTUNED, Polly Wright whose work is largely inspired by the ghosts of memory and nostalgia, landscape and literature and a site specific performance in response to Walpole Old Chapel from sound & visual artist Osita.

LAURA CANNELL
Straddling the worlds of experimental, chamber, folk, early & medieval music, Laura’s semi-composed, semi-improvised compositions draw on the emotional influences of the landscape and explore the spaces between early and experimental music that is rooted in but not tethered to the past. Cannell is an artist whose original and singular vision sets her apart from her contemporaries, whilst her music exists as a culturally vital exploration of the link between medieval, traditional and modern musical idioms.
Laura has released four solo albums since 2014, successfully carving out a unique path with her work, receiving critical acclaim from the contemporary music press and regularly being included in numerous Album of the Year lists (including The Guardian, MOJO, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, The Wire and The Quietus). Recent projects include creating music for film, broadcast work for BBC Radio 3, “Reckonings” (2018) a duo album with Andre Bosman, tours with the cellist Lori Goldston (Earth, Nirvana) & collaborations with This Heat drummer Charles Hayward & Mira Calix, as well as commissions for Hampton Court Palace, The Immix Ensemble at Tate Liverpool, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra & The Zuckerman Museum of Contemporary Art (US). As well as numerous live performances in the UK & Europe.

POLLY WRIGHT is a performer whose work is largely inspired by the ghosts of memory and nostalgia, landscape and literature. She has produced music for film, poetry, dance and immersive theatre. She lives and works in Suffolk and is currently working on a film installation and a performance piece in an Eel catcher’s hut.

OSITA is the new solo project of Nina Bosnic. Nina is a visual and sound artist who explores recorded textures, spoken word, field recordings and visual elements to create situational performance embedded with abstract narrative. Nina also performs and records as part of Paper Dollhouse. The piece at Walpole Old Chapel will be a site-specific performance in response to living close to the chapel.
