Natural Architecture moves the Frond sound into more rich and rhythmic territory than Frond's previous work. This piece still employs field recordings, home made textures and the idiosyncratic slow reveal, but really lets the synth do the talking. This tracks celebrates the inspiration that remote natural environments have on the human experience.

Cloud refers to the technological process of storing data as Public Clouds, Private Clouds, Hybrid Clouds or Community Clouds. The origins of the sounds are the electromagnetic fields of digital transfer loci like server rooms, security systems, electrical power stations and other places of dense electrical activity in Europe, Canada, the United States and China. Electromagnetic waves that are normally imperceptible to us become audible. Cloud is a drone piece created from the material sounds of cloud computing.

This CD features recordings of a now lost sculptural work that was originally commissioned in 2016 for Colour Out of Space festival. The work consists of over 100 empty computer cases, fitted with 16 customised and automated DVD drives. Between 2016 and 2018 it was exhibited in Brighton, Athens, Croydon, Oxford and Rennes, on each occasion being reconfigured into a new form. The most ambitious of these being at Detritus Festival in 2018, where a new and larger version of the work was constructed at the Onassis Cultural Centre from used computer sourced in the city. The work was sadly lost in transit between France and the UK, returning to the global trade in e-waste which its production initially sought to intervene in, so all that remains are these recordings. 

The CD is released in an edition of 150 in an oversized 7" sleeve accompanied by a 16 page risographed booklet featuring photographs and scans of the sculpture, essays by Danae Stefano and Stephen Cornford, and a letterpressed backpanel.

Gris souris

Lottie Sadd (she/her) is an interdisciplinary composer-performer making immersive sonic performances and installations. Informed by ideas of ritual, her holistic practice is broadly concerned with exposing the processes of creation. Sadd experiments primarily with long-form and improvised sound works, moving image, and text, inviting audiences to step outside an object-centric art experience and into these dynamic processes. She is particularly interested in smallnesses, exploding the minutiae of things and ‘writing a lot about a little’. Recently, she has been developing her embodied practice involving vocal (non-verbal and verbal) and bodily performance, responding to feminist mythologies of ‘monstrous’ women, and re-imagining corporeal and empathetic approaches to communication.
