OULAN (Loula Yorke / Una Lee)
OULAN combines the sonic forces of Loula Yorke (electronics) and Una Lee (vocals), co-recipients of the Oram Award 2020. This exciting collaboration inspires the two artists to bring their best elements to the improvisational table: Lee's sublime vocal work navigates in real-time through her diverse musical languages, arriving in an eerie envelopment of Yorke's ephemeral, aleatoric electronics, producing a dynamic, colourful yet intimate soundscape.
Loula Yorke is an award-winning composer and live synthesist who uses electronics and participation to create noisy artworks. When performing her trademark improvised hardware-only live sets, Yorke brings her experimental take on vocal sampling and processing, blending it with vintage drum sounds and improvised minimalist synthesis: building up from abstract soundscapes into powerful beat workouts backed by kaleidoscopes of interlocking and repeating patterns. Yorke has played live in support of The Orb and Talvin Singh, had BBC radio play and been covered by Electronic Sound, DJ Mag and The Wire.
