Event information

Ceremonial Laptop welcomes back Helen Anahita Wilson to the Rose Hill after her incredible solo piano performance last year. This time she presents new 'plant-based compositions’. Also some ‘potato music’. Recent work ‘linea naturalis’ is derived from bioelectricity in plants with medicinal and healing properties. Compositional processes were applied to these plant signals to create a unique piece of plant-derived music.

Artist and gardener Rosie Carr made debut album ‘yew’ over two years whilst training in horticulture in the Essex countryside. Her music has been described as “tudorgaze” and “Burial meets Springwatch”. “Tape loops sampled from medieval cassettes found in charity shops in Essex, euphoric waves of distortion gleaned from field recordings and homemade instruments, and improvised responses on harp and violin.”

"so captivating: live recorders and synths sit next to feedback, drum patterns and of course those self-captured recordings of her garden life" - Loud and Quiet
