got that dirty mug blues on a dubtechno exploration. 
Trumpets came around for a cuppa - didn't clean up...

These songs and sounds were part of COCOON - shared on 29th June 2025 at Elysium Studios, Swansea. 

These immersive shows were directed, produced and performed by Béa Shantifa and Will Roper. 

This audio features original songs created for COCOON, fusing voice, instruments, samples and field recordings. 

Béa and Will have captured the complexities of their story in the gallery space by bringing an immersive experience to their audience. Silent disco headphones played original music alongside live kalimba, voice and sound improvisation from Béa and Will, while audience members interacted with the installation, mixed-media art.

Supported by Arts Council Wales, this was the culmination of a research and development project is a musical and artistic response to the challenges and joys of premature birth and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) experience. COCOON tells the story of the emotional and sensory dimensions of journeys of connection, from the perspectives of a mother-of-colour and a father.


COCOON - 29th June 2025 Sharing - Full Audio

From the COCOON project from Bea Shantifa and Will Roper, this track is an song for the sea, it's power and calm, a moment of reflection, connection and buoyancy during tumultuous times. 
Mixing field recording and studio reflections, the keys were recorded by Will in Singleton Hospital's church, on a piano hidden behind a thick silk curtain, an improvised meditation on the difficulty of caring for a child in intensive care. Found on his phone as we reflected on this time for the continuing COCOON project, we melded it with the sea that was recorded in Brandy Cove, and was a constant solace. Bea's vocals and Will's synth work added to these and formed the first track in the calm, connecting and flow state of the Cocoon Sharing event at Elysium on 29th June, 2025.
