Loula Yorke is an award-winning composer, sound artist and modular synthesist based in the UK.

“Practice made perfect” The Wire

“An artist at the top of her game” Electronic Sound

“Utterly gorgeous” Tom Ravenscroft

“She just keeps getting better and better.” Moonbuilding

Loula plays live music with her custom-built wide-frequency analogue modular synthesiser, creating deep trance-inducing sounds at the intersection between rave, minimalism and drone. Her sets explore movement and psychoacoustics: the way systems loop and feed back; melodies stretch like waking limbs; arpeggios ripple and fold, while circuits glint and return, changed. She performs widely, weaving her synthetic patterns into captivating sound worlds in churches, warehouses and arts centres from Café Oto to Tabakalera.

Loula has released music on Truxalis, DiN, quiet details, Castles in Space and Junted, Detroit; with her releases making AOTY lists in Electronic Sound and Moonbuilding two years running. She’s been featured and reviewed in sonic arts magazines The Wire, The Quietus, Zen Sounds, First Floor and more, and mixed an hour-long FreakZone Playlist for BBC 6Music.

Loula is an Oram Award winner (2020, BBC Radiophonic Workshop). Her work has been funded by Arts Council England, Sound Generator, and Help Musicians. Loula has served on the Composers’ Advisory Group for Sound and Music.
