Moats & Thrones are Tom Herbert (bass – The Invisible, Polar Bear) and Alice Grant (vocals – Matthew Herbert Big Band, Fulborn Teversham). Their pared down sound highlights the individuality of both voice and double bass, with the music’s intimate, descriptive power conveyed beautifully by Alice’s vocals and Tom’s creative and unorthodox double bass playing. “I like music with an emotional honesty,” says Alice. “I want the music to transport people and tell a story.” As husband and wife, their personal lives and musical careers have been intertwined since meeting on London’s vibrant experimental music scene in 2005. This newest project brings together the couple’s interest in off-kilter approaches to pop, jazz and folk music, with covers of Joni Mitchell and Nick Cave sitting alongside their own haunting songs of love and loss.

Auclair is a British-Rwandan music and sound artist. Her work explores rhythm, voice and electronica - treating everyday life like new mythologies and taking an embodied approach to exploring ideas with sound. 

Her versatility has lead to a wide range of projects and collaborations including: live rework / scoring of Afro-Brazilian classic Black Orpheus with Charlie Dark; Beck's Song Reader Live; multi-sensory concert for blindfolded audience The Sensory Score; choral sound piece about bees, The Swarm; musique concrète series made from recordings of buildings, Four Points Talk; In Waves for the Roundhouse Choir; Dawn Chorus Live exploring birdsong with Marcus Coates; community multi-arts residency Co-Create; and more recently working with pioneering Rwandan drum ensemble Ingoma Nshya. Her latest pieces are a Zeitgeist commission for The Riot Ensemble, Munganyinka is a Transformer, which premiered at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival 2020, and Ruzunguzungu, commissioned by ISSUE Project Room in New York for their With Womens Work series.

She is also a member of Deep Throat Choir and vocal ensembles The Quorum and Blood Moon Project.

Her new EP “Giramata” takes its title from her Rwandan name, signalling a new phase in her sound. Here she explores stories of transmutation, ritual, desire, grief and dreaming, all brought to life in the sinuous energy of her voice, layers of distorted synths, and the tactile immediacy of every beat. Each song provides space for elemental change, where ghost notes are given as much weight as those charged up with bold polyrhythms.

Giramata is out on Amorphous Sounds 15 April 2022, written / recorded and produced by Auclair, with additional production and mix from Kwes (Warp Records) and visuals by Dark Angel Services.
