REMORAE - an Acoustic Weekend Headliner event

‘Bold, electronic approach’ Kathyrn Tickell, BBC Radio 3

Remorae are a collective of folk, jazz and electronic musicians brought together in 2017 by the Folkatron Sessions recording project (featured by Songlines Magazine, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, Soho Radio, and Folk Radio UK). Described as ‘eclectic’, ‘genre-bending’, and ‘an English Lankum’, Remorae intertwines strings, close harmony vocals, and electric guitar with live electronics to create soundworlds that shift between ambient, pulsing, cinematic and intimate, sometimes shimmering and glitching, sometimes raw and strange.

Exploring traditional musics through experimental processes, their EP Flourish in Green (2024) is the culmination of many years of experimenting with musical forms and modes of collaboration in unique constellations of artists, and represents a pivot-point in the group’s creative practice, centring improvisation and live performance.

Their ‘unique soundscape’ [Songlines Mag] refracts trad folk through the lens of experimental and ambient electronica. An intricate, atmospheric blend of electronics, strings, guitar and vocals for fans of Jarlath Henderson, Kan, Lau, Lankum and Furrow Collective.

In this new stage of their evolution, Remorae’s sound is born from what they can create live. Using live effects and synthesisers, exploring improvisation and soundscapes, they’re delving into the resonances of old songs and discovering their connections to them.
