Syncing Not Swimming Presents an evening of electronic music.
KAYLA PAINTER is an experimental artist, musician, producer and DJ.
Painter’s immersive, ever-evolving AV performances are a natural consequence of the entire writing process – the visuals figure into the earliest stages of her music. 2024 sees her biggest release to date, with her genre tag #ambientowlcore release (Ambient Owl Core Vol.2: out July) and chapter in newly published book “Ears to the Ground: Adventures in Field Recording and Electronic Music” - Ben Murphy; being awarded the Women Make Music PRSF award for her debut album ‘Fractures’ (releases October), and with a string of high caliber shows under her belt this year, 2024 is set to be the biggest year for Painter yet.
2022 saw her debut headline tour, debut vinyl release (Castles in Space), and supporting Carl Cox, 2021 saw her as tour support for the Rival Consoles Articulation tour, joining a panel with Laurie Anderson, and release of a EP ‘Somewhen’ with singles on heavy rotation via BBC6Music, and celebrated by fans and media alike. 2019 saw her playing at events such as The Great Escape, Camp Elsewhere, Bluedot, and Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here festival. She has crafted remixes for a string of well-regarded acts including W.H. Lung (Melodic Records), Teddy Hunter (Bubblewrap Records) and Scrimshire (Albert's Favourites), as well as appearing on releases by the likes of Jilk (Project Mooncircle), among others.
Supported through Gilles Peterson's ‘Future Bubblers’ talent development program, Kayla has continued to make a lasting impact on key tastemakers in the UK. Her releases have continued to received support and acclaim, with spins from Mary-Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Steve Lamacq, Tom Ravenscroft, Nemone, Huw Stephens and Giden Coe on BBC 6Music, Phil Taggart (BBC Radio 1) and BBC Introducing. She has written music for Disney, Channel 4, Discovery Channel and a range of independent films, as well as having been commissioned by Universal Publishing to write an EP for synch.
2022 saw the long awaited longer release from Painter, Infinite You; the debut vinyl for the producer. Infinite You heads deep into space exploration and delivers a timeless boundless listening experience, with expertly crafted ambient textures and soundscapes. With Painter's unique production style, her name and reputation grow with tastemakers comparing her to Rick Rubin (Norman Records, 2022) she continues to gather a cult following on the experimental electronic scene. With continued 6Music support throughout the year, Lamacq dubbed Painter’s earlier, Balloons in the Arcade ‘Best New Music of 2022’.
SULK ROOMS
A pseudonym of Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale, the music of Sulk Rooms draws the link between euphoric electronica and smoke engulfed drones.
Slow-morphing textures sequence and cascade, encapsulating intimate moments of colliding sound amongst fluttering arpeggios and transcending synth builds.
A predominant soundtrack artist included in many of Adam Curtis’ groundbreaking BBC documentaries as well as scoring BBC true crime series, Netflix features and Prada commercials, Sulk Rooms is part of Domino Publishing’s prestigious composer roster.
Atmospheric music for the head alongside the heart, Sulk Rooms' music captures spontaneous audio mirages and saturated imperfections within a crushing backdrop of low end and harmonic ferocity.
Electric soundscapes and rising techno map Sulk Rooms' universe where panoramic pulses fuel adrenaline charged synths to feelings of both wonder and unease.
“Sulk Rooms summons slow moving and portentous drones that feel both elemental and diffuse” - Wire Magazine
“Ephemeral, elusive and gloriously unsettling” - Electronic Sound Magazine
SECRET SELF
A bespoke, improvised live performance from the Syncing Not Swimming residents The Burning Trestle and Simon Heartfield.
