About
Alice Boyd is a South London-based musician, sound artist and audio producer whose work invites people to listen more closely to the natural world, and to our place within it. Working with voice, field recordings, composition and interview, she creates songs and sound works that explore our connection to the landscapes we call home. Her projects bring together environmental sound and human stories, documenting ecological change and the people, practices and traditions imagining more hopeful futures. Spanning live performance, music releases, sound installations and broadcast, Alice’s work has featured on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4 and 6 Music, with performances and presentations for organisations including the Barbican Conservatory, National Gallery, Kings Place, Kew’s Wakehurst, TEDx and the Eden Project, where she was artist-in-residence. She created the BBC Radio 4 documentary Shifting Soundscapes, presents Found Sounds for Ffern’s podcast As the Season Turns, and co-produces BBC Radio 3

Project Goals for the next 6-12 Months
Over the next 12 months, I am creating my debut album (after releasing two EPs to this point). The album is inspired by my BBC Radio 4 documetary Shifting Soundscapes, in which I retrace locations legendary recordist Martyn Stewart recorded in the 1970s. I will also be going on tour, supporting Stornoway. And many more projects inspired by the environment, sound and music!
