We’re proud to be partnering with Manchester Jazz Festival to bring this double bill to Oldham.

mjf is the city's longest running music festival, known for championing new work, supporting emerging talent and celebrating the vibrant northern jazz scene.

Lullaby-Sonic Cradle

Supriya Nagarajan vocals / Lucy Nolan harp / Duncan Chapman electronics

Lullaby – Sonic Cradle is an immersive music performance for family audiences and adults alike. The show weaves improvised electronics with nighttime soundscapes collected from across the globe by sound artist Duncan Chapman, soothing Carnatic vocals from Supriya Nagarajan and luscious improvised harp playing from Lucy Nolan.

They have collected over 300 lullabies internationally, from libraries to office blocks, which are woven into the soundscape and used as a stimulus for improvisation.

Lullaby – Sonic Cradle has toured across eleven countries, from the Riverside Theatre in Sydney Australia to WOMAD and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

The show delights in creating a bespoke immersive musical experience for every new audience; the use of lullabies is intended to subtly emphasise the universality of singing and music, deliberately blending influences from many cultures to transcend genre.

Her Revelation

Kinna Whitehead vocals, synthesizer / Vato Klemera synthesisers, sampler / Peter Bell modular synthesizer, sampler

Her Revelation is an electronic music trio that perform primarily improvised live sets, defined by intensity and mutability. By inciting one another endlessly towards delightful moments, the trio plays with delicate soundscapes, peppered with disruptive textures. Drawing on an array of eclectic source material from Ursula K. Le Guin to Meredith Monk to FKA Twigs, Her Revelation is a music-based practice attending to a transcendental every day.

Kinna’s adroit lyricism melds with the band’s ‘comprovisations’ to examine the crossing point at which mundane feelings and life’s unremarkable experiences become of exceptional importance.

The trio first met and performed together at Eastside Gallery in Birmingham in 2022, as part Oneiros, an installation on sleep cycles. This incidental meeting, culminating in a 2-hour lullaby/night-terror live experience, unveiled a natural rapport, catalysing their subsequent years of improvising, songwriting, and performing together – and two notable singles: Actress and Dare.
