Folk, Noise, Electronics, Improvisation – how can radical music help us manifest new possibilities for thinking and imagine new ways of organising community through ritual behaviours, actions and languages?

Alexandra Spence expands on her relationship to objects and how she translates their textures and histories into sound; the development of her practice and its relation to landscape; and shares reflections on her new album Blue waves, Green waves.

Alexandra Spence is a sound artist and musician attempting to reimagine the intricate relationships between the listener, the object, and the surrounding environment. Her aesthetic favours field recordings, analogue technologies and object interventions. She holds the belief that electricity might actually be magic.
