IN THE BELLOWS vol. II

REMORAE + WILDFORMS

Saturday 6 April 2024, doors 19:30 

Sandfields Pumping Station, Lichfield


In The Bellows is a new event series set in the historic Sandfields Pumping Station in Lichfield. A collaboration by Kikimora Records and Lichfield Arts, the programme explores the imaginative spaces between folk, jazz, electronic and ambient music. 


Reverberant high ceilings and 1800’s industrial architecture form a cinematic backdrop to two innovative acts from across the UK; Remorae, a spellbinding folk collective and Wildforms, who creates music from nature.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

REMORAE | listen here |

Remorae (formerly Folkatron Sessions) are a collective of folk, jazz and electronic musicians from the UK and France who bonded over a love of ‘genre-bending’ [Folk Radio UK] folk music. Their ‘unique soundscape’ [Songlines Mag] refracts trad folk through the lens of experimental and ambient electronica. An intricate, atmospheric blend of electronics, strings, guitar and vocals.


WILDFORMS | listen here |

In the cluster of organic and synthetic sound dwells Wildforms, the electronic-music apparition of musician Dan Cippico. Launching in early 2021 with the support from Grand Union gallery, Birmingham, Wildforms’ sound is a murmuration of mutated nature and object recordings, coarse percussion, and obscure melodic materials.
