LULLABY SONIC CRADLE and HER REVOLUTION

Lullaby–Sonic Cradle is an immersive music performance for family audiences and adults alike. The show weaves improvised electronics with nighttime soundscapes collected from across the globe by sound artist, Duncan Chapman, soothing Carnatic vocals from Supriya Nagarajan and luscious improvised harp music from Lucy Nolan. They have collected over 300 lullabies internationally from libraries to office blocks and these are woven into the soundscape and used as a stimulus for improvisation.

Lullaby-Sonic Cradle has toured eleven countries and settings have ranged from the Riverside Theatre in Sydney Australia to WOMAD to Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in the UK. The show delights in creating a unique immersive musical experience for every new audience and the use of lullabies is intended to subtly emphasise the universality of singing and music, deliberately blending influences from many cultures so it transcends genre.

Her Revelation is a part-improvised ritual exulting the everyday. Inspired by Ursula Le Guin’s idea of the ‘Life Story’, we weave arranged songs exploring mundane feelings between improvised soundscapes built on reactivity to each other.
