It’s soooo easy to forget literally everything! (This round-up is as much for my own memory as it is to communicate what I’ve been up to with anyone else!)
Some lovely gigs supporting the likes of Pye Corner Audio, Seefeel, Scanner, and Wolf Eyes.
I released a live album ‘The Loula Yorke Live Compendium’, and three mixtapes – ‘February’, ‘March’ and ‘April’, including some actual tapes for these, which all sold out in a *flash* thank you!
I turned my written liner notes into a spoken word podcast, and I started doing listening parties on Bandcamp for new releases.
I had a couple of little press features – “Under The Influence” in Electronic Sound magazine where I chatted about my influences with Isaak Lewis-Smith; “Loula Yorke has better taste than I do” in Shawn Reynaldo’s epic dance music blog First Floor where I got to recommend a track to his readers; and I was part of a big feature on playing eurorack live in Sound On Sound magazine (life goals achievement unlocked!) put together by Robin Vincent.
Various bits of my music were included in indie interent radio shows across the world for which I am ever grateful 🙏
My liveset for Machina Bristronica has gone live on their YouTube channel, and it’s a banger!
I was invited to do a Live Q&A with Mylar Melodies at the London Synth and Pedal Expo about my practice, which is available to watch now too.
I was invited to spend a day at Magic Acorns in Great Yarmouth researching the role of sound in early years play with Charlotte Arculus, The Overload Project, Emily Godden and Frazer Merrick.
COMING IN MAY-JUNE-JULY: The Book of Commonplace, an hour-long sound piece (Cassette/CD/DL) with accompanying liner notes and physical zine to mark the anniversary of the monthly mixtape project. Which I’m starting work on today…. stop procrastinating by updating your website loula …
Onward!
