“Intrepid Scottish improvisor” (The Herald) Lauren Sarah Hayes explores instability, ephemerality and unpredictability through playful and tactile explorations of her hybrid analogue-digital live electronics instrument, which comprises self-built software, voice processing, analogue synths, drum machines and repurposed controllers. Influenced by experimental pop, techno, noise and free improvisation, her 2016 album MANIPULATION was praised by The Wire for its “skittering melodies and clip-clopping rhythms suggesting a mischievous intelligence emerging from this web of wires”. She has toured extensively across Europe and North America, including as part of the BBC’s New Radiophonic Workshop, where she explored innovative approaches to sound and music.
