Old Hag - Bore Chores pic_edited_edited_

Oldhag

Artist based in Sussex, UK, playing with music, sound, sculptural costume, installation and  performance.  Exploring binaural, field and hydrophone recording, alongside traditional recording & song writing techniques to immerse audiences in tales of compulsory normalcy, herstory & collective trauma - encouraging empathy & comradery via droll, live performances  with communal votive offerings.

​

Expect redundant pipe organs, adapted kaen hoover, broom, shillelaghs, balloons, strings, drums, synths and equally whindgy and grateful lyrics: Paeans of love, death & hope to egg on the sleep deprived. Currently seeking funding for development using 360 full dome systems.
