East Dulwich-raised Laura Misch has been marking the release of her new album, Sample the Sky, with some interesting local events in the last few weeks. There was a sound walk in Sydenham Woods, an event in the Brockwell Park greenhouses and, on 21 October 2023, a 'cloud bath' in the old waiting room above Peckham Rye station. The latter featured an improvised set with Laura's saxophone accompanied by Slow Moon on guitar. People were invited to bring cushions so they could relax on the floor while artists Holobiont projected cloud imagery. Lots of lush reverb drenched tones approaching a spiritual jazz vibe, it was a lovely event.
There's an interesting interview with Laura at The Line of Best Fit where she talks about her musical and woodland inspirations.
The album is more song based, including the previous single Portals - the video of which, I am reliably informed, was styled with the help of Bleak House Flowers in Brockley Cross
