Lou Barnell
Biografía
Lou is an explorer of flesh, body, sound and knowing.
She makes music to explode the suffocating, cheap packaging of women in art and life
As a neurodiverse female artist, her body is both a disorientated instrument and a navigational tool, inspired by dissonance and control, walking a line between sonic and body improvisation, and performance, sound art and composition.
Lou's work sounds and looks like her lurid memories of growing up in Hastings and London, complete with rafts of £3 an hour jobs frying eggs, donuts, peeling spuds, stealing candy-floss and running away from muggers. Nature and dreams are seeping through the cracks of all that is man-made. Everything tends towards madness, after going on a beautiful walk.
Lou is a member of Breathing Space, a five piece sound art collective. The group explores spatial acoustics such as disused docklands and floating platforms as well as trees and nature as performance spaces.
She is one half of Indus Traps ( a spectral dub/ post garage collaboration with Dirty Freud )
