Though word and sound, Flora Yin Wong's work has explores intimate, existential and spiritual subjects. Her experimental sound work pairs the organic with the synthetic, marrying early traditional instruments with field recordings and the use of electronic processing techniques.

These sonic collages, which have found a home on the likes of PAN, Modern Love and Danse Noire, can take the form of abstract sound pieces or rhythmic excursions, and have examined all manner of themes from death and rebirth to fire rituals, mythology and memory.

With her new project Doyenne, she's found a way of pairing her love of writing and composing. Both a label and independent book publisher, through the platform she'll examine new forms, ephemera and the divine feminine, beginning with a split tape release from herself and French-Egyptian artist Susu Laroche. 

Alongside the tape, Flora will release a book titled 002 that documents the tradition of 'Singing to Spirits', which features poems and illustrations from her and Susu, as well as several contributions from their friends including Sarah Shin, YL Hooi, Lucinda Chua and Cucina Povera.

Today's mix celebrates the influences behind the label, including ritualistic music and found sound, and music that you'll hear on the label in the future, including tracks from this first release...
