Alice Boyd: Women Make Music
From the Understory
Alice Boyd is a London and Bristol based composer, sound designer and performer working across music, podcast, radio, film and theatre. Her work uses the voice, everyday sounds and electronic textures to tell stories about the world around us. Much of her work explores our relationship with the natural world.
In 2020, Alice was selected for Sound and Music’s New Voices programme and was granted their Dimensions Award. As part of this, Alice carried out an artist residency at the Eden Project and wrote a collection of songs performed by her and five other singers in the Rainforest Biome. This performance was supported by Eden Universe and the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music will support the production and release of this music as her debut EP, ‘From the Understory’. The EP will be created from the sounds of female singers, plants and electronic instruments, and explore the interconnectedness of humans and the biosphere.
