Sarah Angliss

Works in progress: New experiments from Sarah Angliss – a composer mixing robotics with 14th-century instruments, theremin, extraordinary electronic effects and more. Sarah’s highly unusual music draws on her lifelong interest in European folksong, cybernetics and ancient sound culture. In demand as a live performer, Sarah plays internationally and composes for theatre and film. Her score for Romola Garai’s horror Amulet premiered at Sundance 2020. Her theatre work includes music and sound design for the first official stage production of The Twilight Zone and a terse, industrial score for Eugene O’Neill’s expressionist play The Hairy Ape – at The Old Vic, London, and Park Avenue Armory, New York. In 2021, Sarah received an Ivor Novello Award (Visionary Award) for her body of work.

Rich Grant

Run off: Inspired by “Sgt. Pepper’s” inner groove, an analogue of the loop, the beat and revolution. A beautiful rolling sculpture to play, for song, to sing. The mystery at the heart of every record, those few moments understood only by the eternal, transient and truly alive. Playing a syncopated rhythm, infinite and ever changing. A visual treat and sonic delight.
