Alice Boyd: Debut Album Launch

Musician and sound artist Alice Boyd launches her debut album at Kings Place, weaving voice, field recordings, synths, and folk-inspired songwriting into music that explores our relationship with the natural world. Alice will perform solo before being joined on stage by special guest collaborators.

Alice Boyd returns to Kings Place to celebrate the release of her debut album: a collection of songs and soundscapes exploring our relationship with the natural world.

Blending voice, field recordings, synths and ambient electronics with folk-inspired songwriting, Alice’s music grows from a practice of close listening to landscapes, changing ecosystems and the sounds of the more-than-human world. Her debut album brings these elements together, moving between intimate songs and expansive, immersive sound worlds.

For this album launch, Alice will begin the evening performing solo, building layers of voice, electronics and environmental recordings live on stage. She will then be joined by special guest collaborators, expanding the performance into a wider celebration of her music, past and present.

An evening of music rooted in landscape, listening and our connections with the living world.

This event will last approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, including an interval.
