Her new EP Romance is due for release in early October on the South London label Albert's Favourites, and has already garnered support from Jamz Supernova ( BBC 1Xtra) and Bradley Zero ( NTS).

Auclair is a British-Rwandan music and sound artist. Her work explores rhythm, voice and electronica - treating everyday life like new mythologies and taking an embodied approach to exploring ideas with sound. She's been part of a wide range of projects and collaborations including a live rework / scoring of Afro-Brazilian classic Black Orpheus with Charlie Dark; Beck's Song Reader Live; multi-sensory concert for blindfolded audience The Sensory Score; choral sound piece about bees, The Swarm; musique concrète series made from recordings of buildings, Four Points Talk; In Wavesfor the Roundhouse Choir; Dawn ChorusLive exploring birdsong with Marcus Coates; community multi-arts residency Co-Create; and more recently working with pioneering Rwandan drum ensemble Ingoma Nshya. Her latest pieces are a Zeitgeist commission for The Riot Ensemble, Munganyinka is a Transformer, which premiered at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival 2020, and Ruzunguzungu, commissioned by ISSUE Project Room in New York for their With Womens Work series. She is also a member of Deep Throat Choir and vocal ensembles The Quorum and Blood Moon Project.
Howl
Howl are a collective of singers from a variety of different disciplines and backgrounds, from folk to opera. We came together in between lockdowns during the pandemic, gathering in parks or back gardens, singing together over the last year whenever and however we could. We have put together an eclectic program of all the music we discovered together during this strange time, including Venezuelan contrapuntal music, choral works by Caroline Shaw and Meredith Monk, our own re-workings of trad songs from the British isles and new compositions by Cosmo Sheldrake, Emilio Reyes, Heloise Tunstall-Behrens and Lydia Samuels.
We look forward to welcoming you for this wonderful event at The Old Church.
