July 4th. 1st set: We are incredibly excited to invite Hidden Mother to open the festival with a performance of Alexandra Nilsson’s, Öländsk Svit (2018) for amplified limestone and sandstone. Öländsk Svit, is a work comprising a setup of limestones from the Swedish island of Öland, carefully chosen for their sonic properties. The formation of the Öland limestone dates back to an estimated 480 million years ago, around the Ordovician geological period. @hidden___mother @alexandra.solovkina.nilsson

Bringing our third Stanford residency to a close with two intense days of documentation, one brilliant concert and quiiite a lot of partying 😁😁 Thank you to all the composers at CCRMA for having us back again. We truly love working with you all - a supportive atmosphere, diverse range of sounds, and all in such an unbelievably beautiful place. Was also a privilege to work with mega recording engineer Murat Çolak - we learned a lot! SO much love for you all - Distractfold 💜
Repost from @anotherskyfestival: 7 days left to listen to the broadcast of @_samsalem’s 2022 work: ‘ Shadows pass the morning ‘gins to break, The starry floor, the watry shore’, for amplified quartet and 12 orchestral musicians on @bbcradio3 listening link in stories Conductor @mark_knoop collaborators @distractfold_ thanks @bbcphilharmonic! Words from @_samsalem “This work began with a simple premise - that all of contemporary life, the good, the bad, the darkness and the light, could be found along the banks of the River Thames. Over the course of 18 months I walked the 120 miles of the tidal River, from Weybridge to the Isle of Grain, returning again and again with camera and microphone, observing - waiting.” Longer text @_samsalem
A confusion of bows, laughs, and the unselecting of aeroplane mode - that’s how flabbergasted we were to be a part of @anotherskyfestival 2024! Hats off to the production team and all the incredible artists who made the 2nd edition of this festival so memorable! 📸: What About The Ash / Marc Tunguz
