Hidden Mother 1
Artist based in Sussex, UK, playing with music, sound, sculptural costume, installation and performance.
Current
Songs to make you laugh and cry at the same time. Exploring binaural, spatial, field and hydrophone recording to help immerse audiences in tales of compulsory normalcy, alchemising trauma, pipe dreams and her/their story - encouraging empathy & comradery via droll, live performances with communal, ritual offerings. ​Expect redundant pipe organs, adapted kaen hoover, strings, synths, folk instruments, foley, beats and equally whindgy and grateful lyrics.
“Oyez, Oyez, Oyez"
Pipe Dreams & Globaphobes

Writing with and recording pipe organs in and around Sussex since 2017, exploring the other-worldly, sonorous and transcendental qualities of spaces of refuge, hope, community & ritual e.g. caves & churches.
