Can Ye Sew Cushions layered with Baby Yuna

[Audio description] two voices, muffled and distorted, take it in turns to hum an arpeggiated tune. Sometimes they sing alone, sometimes together, sometimes they overlap. An organ joins them, percussion is steady. Distortion, echo, delay, and movement.

CUTTER // NASH is a disability-led music and sound art collaboration between Gareth Cutter (London) and Gemma Nash (Manchester). Our work holds space for queer, non-normative bodies and voices, producing performances and soundscapes that are eerie, seductive and euphoric.

“Their creative exploration of how music, sound art, the voice and accessibility interact is proving to be an artistically rich and productive area of work” - Susanna Eastburn, Chief Executive, Sound & Music.

CUTTER // NASH have performed and exhibited work internationally at No Limits Festival (Berlin 2019), bodyparts exhibition (London 2019), DaDaFest (Liverpool 2018) and Unlimited Festival (London 2018). Our current practice revolves around non-normative voices and technology.
