"landings" is the debut EP from electroacoustic harpist and composer Grace Scheele. Known for her minimalistic textures within noise landscapes, she presents a sound that syncs elements of ambient, experimental, noise, and classical music, her sound ranges from moody minimalism to melancholic glitchscapes.

"landings" centres on the real and imagined experience of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon; wielding bowed harp, electronic fx, and sampling from speeches, newsreels, mission audio, and NASA's own interviews with those present at the historic newscast.

Ranging from the ethereally ambient to grinding, jarring industrial noise, the seven tracks across this debut EP represents an imagined journey into the darkness of space.

Meant to be listened to from start to finish: recommended listening experience includes lying on the floor, turning off the lights, and staring at the ceiling for a bit. Heck, maybe even some fairy lights for sparkles.

Originally premiered live during the Aga Khan Museum's Moon Landing Festival.
