Nicola Woodham
Nicola Woodham, who hails from Brighton, started making vocal performances in 2014. Vocal experimentation is her life’s work and is deeply personal. Nicola spends hours in the studio processing her voice and devising sound poetry. What she shares with her audience are finely tuned performances with lots of space for free improvisation. Performing with these methods is a way for Nicola to create estrangement, here between her mouthings and any expectations for her to sound and behave in specific ways due to her gender. Out of this rupture evolves the weird, the other, and the affecting. A rustling creaturedness.
Her forthcoming album Sonic Allies/Vocal Others is the culmination of years of her vocal praxis to create “others” that have her back, sometimes advocate for her, and help her take up space.

Arconic
Arconic is the solo project of Rob Parton, an electronic musician and sound artist from London. His work explores sound, space, and time through synthesis, feedback, and field recordings. Blending ambient, acousmatic, and spatial sound practices, he creates immersive live performances that evolve in response to the acoustics of each venue.
Recent work includes performances and presentations through Sound/Image Festival, CRUX AV London, Spatial Audio Gathering and Project DIVFUSE. His practice developed through a Master’s in Music and Sound Design at the University of Greenwich, focuses on spatial composition and live improvisation. His live performances combine looping delays, drones, and evolving textures to invite deep listening and calm reflection.
