LAURA CANNELL – Performer/Composer
Exploring the spaces between ancient, improvised and experimental music.
I’m delighted to have created some foghorn inspired Bass Recorder interpretations from San Francisco Foghorn transcriptions and had a chat with Jennifer Lucy Allan on her recent BBC Radio 4 Documentary, (Tues 28th July).
Listen again here Life, Death and the Foghorn.
“Cannell does something special here, re-contextualising riffs on early music within cavernous, industrial surroundings and somehow managing to tap into a well of suppressed emotion where there could so easily have just been hollow formality. Some of the most quietly moving and aesthetically provocative records in this field we’ve heard for a while – huge recommendation.” Boomkat

On Saturday 16 May 2020 you are invited to find your own view of the sky and join in with people across the UK in a shared witness of dawn, marking everyone’s individual experience as daylight sweeps across the country in a continuous wave from the North East to the South West.
At 3:43am tune into an online broadcast as six performers from six sites across the UK create a live, musical performance that celebrates darkness turning to light.
This mass-participation artwork by non zero one is made in collaboration with composer James Bulley, commissioned by the National Trust in partnership with Heritage Open Days.
It takes place live and online, and is lockdown-friendly – you find your own view of the sky and then tune in to the broadcast online. During the performance you are invited to take part in collective actions to mark your dawn, or simply be represented by a pin on the map.
