Nat Sharp – SPUME
📍 The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead
🗓️ 19–20 June 2025
For the past nine months artist and musician Nat Sharp has been in residence at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead, alongside folk musician Frankie Archer and electronic producer ako. Last week Archer presented Commune, a new sound performance incorporating tactile elements and reactive movement sensors; and next week ako will showcase a new audiovisual work entitled Algorithms of Loving Grace, reflecting on the ethics of AI and automation.
Over fifteen years Nat Sharp – once described as “Britain’s weirdest musician” – has crafted a singular aesthetic through her work as Lone Taxidermist and more recently with multisensory sound installations which centre body activism and inclusion. In recent years Sharp’s practice has become more expansive and interdisciplinary, encompassing multi-channel sound, light, and tactile elements. This week the artist will present a new iteration of her multisensory installation, SPUME. Named after the frothy algae-based sea foam, the work reflects upon tidal ecologies, maritime folklore, and the audible aquatic. The work features a large constructed bed where visitors are invited to lie down and experience an embodied mode of listening, draped in gauze, whilst refracted light swirls through suspended glass buoys. The installation features a multi-channel ambisonic loudspeaker array and tactile transducers which resonate the bed so low frequency vibrations can be felt physically through the whole body, much like the experience of lying on the beach with the rhythms of the tide. Sharp has stated that the format of the work initially evolved from a need to re-think the ergonomics of performing live as a disabled artist. Her approach, which she terms “horizontalism,” grants her a softer, more accessible model of performing and places the audience on the same level as her. In this format, the gaze of the audience is redirected upwards, and their orientation becomes closer in alignment with the topography of the coastal landscapes represented in the work.
SPUME features algorithmic elements built in MAX/MSP patches to sonify live data into FM synthesis and sampling. The work tracks marine activity such as tidal states, algae blooms, and shipping routes, using these to determine sonic characteristics such as amplitude, pitch, tone, and timbre, and to trigger samples invoking the artist’s Seychellois heritage and her childhood memories of the Merchant Navy.
“Some organic data received, such as residual algae blooms and sea storms which may lead to SPUME build up will be mapped to sampled sounds that are characteristic to the heritage of my family; from constellations of my fathers’ Morse code to my mother singing in creole.” – Nat Sharp
Experience Nat Sharp’s SPUME at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th June 2025.

Mercedes Azpilicueta – Fire on the Mountain, Light on the Hill
Edinburgh Art Festival
📍 Collective, Edinburgh
🗓️ 20 June – 07 Sept 2025
This Friday Edinburgh’s Collective gallery will present Fire on the Mountain, Light on the Hill, a new solo exhibition by Argentinean artist Mercedes Azpilicueta. Azpilicueta produces works across a range of disciplines, from live performance to large-scale installations. Her practice adopts a decolonial feminist perspective, engaging with collective activism and marginalised historical figures in her work. Thematically, this new show in Edinburgh addresses the civil unrest of the Aardappeloproer potato riots of 1917, where working class women took to the streets of Amsterdam in response to war-triggered food shortages. At the centre of the exhibition is the huge installation work, Potatoes, Riots, and Other Imaginaries, comprised of workers’ garments, domestic utensils, sound, and a twelve-meter long Jacquard tapestry which depicts representations of female labour and care work from Amsterdam and further afield. Azpilicueta’s works often incorporate sonic elements, prior works have included contributions from sound artists such as Ella Finer and Toni Brell. This installation features the work of Argentinean sound artist Constanza Castagnet who has created a soundtrack that explores the gendered sonics of social protest and whispered gossip.
Experience Fire on the Mountain, Light on the Hill at Edinburgh’s Collective from Friday 20th June until Sunday 7th September 2025.

Estuary Festival 2025
📍 various locations, Essex and Kent
🗓️ 21–29 June 2025
Contemporary arts festival Estuary returns to the Thames Estuary for its third edition. Opening this weekend, the festival builds upon its previous incarnations with a huge programme of interdisciplinary arts activities staged across multiple venues and outdoor locations across one hundred miles of the South Essex and North Kent coastlines. This year, the festival has chosen the theme of ‘vessels’ for its programme. Looking beyond immediate nautical references, the programme instead focuses on the roles in which artworks can act as carriers of information and ideas, and how communities are vessels for retaining and continuing memories and folklore. Sound plays a large role in this year’s curation with various soundwalks, performances and installations engaging with the Thames’ soundscape.
Still Waters is a new sound installation created by British-Caribbean interdisciplinary artist Cherelle Sappleton and record producer Tom Morris. Their work will be shown at the Clarendon Royal Community Garden in Gravesend as one element of Ivan Morison & Heather Peak’s large-scale work, Sea Like a Mirror. Sappleton and Morris’ work is described by the festival as a immersive sound bath, where visitors can find a calming, restorative sonic environment. The installation reflects upon human relationships to water and the role in which sound plays in forming these connections. Still Waters was developed in collaboration with students at Northfleet Technology College, emerging from a long exchange between the artists and the local community through various field recording excursions and experimental sound workshops.
Nwando Ebizie will debut a new large-scale work on 22nd June, commemorating Windrush Day, seventy-seven years on. The performance will be staged at the Port of Tilbury in Essex, the site where the HMT Empire Windrush docked in 1948. Ebizie is a British-Nigerian multidisciplinary artist whose work examines the nature of reality through Afrofuturist immersive installations and performances. Her work often incorporates multi-channel sound and live movement alongside sensory elements such as light, scent, and scenography to explore neurodivergent perception. This new commission, She is a River, is an interactive work which reflects upon the history of the site, drawing upon the legacies of Windrush and the folklore of Tamesis, the ancient river deity of the Thames. The work is described as a dream-like, with otherworldly elements such as scripted announcements through the port’s public address system. Audiences can expect to be in the centre of the action and can take part in various aspects of the work as it unfolds.
Ebizie has also prepared three site-responsive audiowalks set across estuary locations in Tilbury, Gravesend, and Canvey Island. The episodic work is entitled A Circular and Never-ending Ritual of Love to the Estuary (including Hope for the Future, Recipes for Action and a Call to the Blood), and is designed to encourage audiences to re-evaluate their relationships to the land. Visitors can expect to connect with histories and myths and will be encouraged to engage in ritualistic acts whilst listening. Ebizie’s binaural soundtrack will guide visitors through each of the three sites using a folk horror-styled narration accompanied with compositional elements, and intimate ASMR recordings. The audiowalks will be accessible until Friday 18th July 2025.
Estuary Festival runs across multiple locations on the South Essex and North Kent coastlines from Saturday 21st until Sunday 29th June 2025.
