About the Artists

Aster 

Aster are poets and experimental sound makers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs, sacrificial stones and top of the pops, as well as being guided by divination. 

The Hardy Tree

The Hardy Tree is the musical project of illustrator Frances Castle, the founder of Clay Pipe Music. Her music blends her signature woozy synth sound with inspirations from landscape and London's history. She has also composed soundtracks to her graphic novels and performed live alongside her own slow-moving animations. 

David Boulter

David Boulter is a member of the long established group tindersticks. His solo work, released through his own label and Clay Pipe Music, explores instrumental soundscapes, spoken word and soundtrack compositions.

Dover Unlocked: Richard Bundy and Anna Phoebe 

Composers Richard Bundy and Anna Phoebe will be performing music from their new album: From The Edge. The album reimagines and quietly subverts the accepted narrative of this UK coastal border town - a long-form musical work shaped by the acoustics, history, and atmosphere of Dover.
