The 5th Annual Soho Kids Xmas are up✨ A student at the Soho Parish School drew this amazing sketch of @j.asminemorrismusic and me playing at the Village Underground Concert, and it has been made into lights in Soho. I’m so grateful to be a part of this year’s theme of ‘Women In Soho’, and it’s so magical seeing it glowing there. Go and see all the amazing installations around Soho🎄You can find it on the map, off Brewer Street (44)!

It was such an honour to contribute the music for ‘Folly Tower Blooms’ for @nonclsscl ‘Vari/ations: Ode to Oram’. Grateful to be part of this tribute to Oram’s visionary world 🔊🌿 Seeing these pictures side by side brought a lot of emotion. Both at Daphne Oram’s ‘Oramic’ studio and home in Kent, where so much of her sonic imagination took shape but eighty years apart!

This Wednesday (26th), I’ll be joining the Q&A at the release party, where we’ll be talking about the making of the project and the creative process behind it. It begins at 6.30 pm at Vittoria Wharf Studio, more details and tickets in my bio. Come and join us to hear more about this amazing project!

Popped into Shape Navigator’s studio today and accidentally got lost in his synth museum.
Send help… or another keyboard. Had a lovely time!

Thank you so much for all your kind messages over the past month 💛 Starting to feel more like myself again and getting back to normal. Here’s me with the Breathe Out vinyl, with the amazing artwork by @noisy_jimmy . As I recover I’m beginning to think about releasing again… but for now, I hope you’re all still enjoying Breathe Out. Vinyls are still available from Rough Trade @roughtrade 💿

I was heartbroken to miss the very first @sohoelectronic , after being taken into hospital just days before I was unable to perform. Grateful beyond words to @violet.savage and @diz_qo for keeping the spirit alive at @allisjoysoho — sharing the Breathe Out video with Violet’s stunning live improv alongside. Thank you @sohoelectronic for sharing this moment with everyone there 💙

A beautiful surprise, a photo from Haruomi Hosono, from Yellow Magic Orchestra, holding my vinyl EP ‘Breathe Out’ 🌸 Years ago he released my Apache 61 album on his Daisyworld label, and after all this time, this gesture feels like the circle still turning. Grateful, honoured, and inspired. ✨ Thank you Hosono San!

I’m so excited to share to be part of Vari/ations – An Ode to Oram, a new album on @nonclsscl celebrating the visionary Daphne Oram. My contribution, created with @hallmagz , grows out of her @radioairgarden_ project , where we recorded the subtle vibrations of plants surrounding Oram’s former home, Tower Folly, and combined them with rare archive sounds from her collection. The result is a living, breathing tribute to her legacy. You can hear a sneek preview of the track in this post 🔊

This album is a centenary celebration of the legendary electronic pioneer Daphne Oram, with 10 specially commissioned works by incredible artists including: Cosey Fanni Tutti, Arushi Jain, Lola de la Mata, afromerm + abi asisa, Magz Hall + myself, TAAHLIAH, Deena Abdelwahed, Marta Salogni, Félicia Atkinson, Nwando Ebizie, and xname.

You can pre-order the album on @nonclsscl Bandcamp - link in my bio ⬆️
