Aural Spaces – Loraine James in 4DSOUND (live), presented by FIBER Festival

Leading British producer Loraine James will perform a new composition commissioned for the festival on the 4DS sound system during Aural Spaces. This concert is presented by the FIBER Festival.

In recent years, Loraine James has emerged as one of the most forward-thinking producers of the moment. Experimental never stands synonymous with inaccessibility within James’ playful vocabulary: a dizzying mix of jazz, electronica, UK drill, pop and grime. With her album For You And I (2019), she seeks out the raw edges, transmitting her signature sound as a queer, Black and British artist, with the catchy pop melody often forming the springboard for bold experimentation.

Successor Reflection is a more streamlined and minimalist project that shows the introspective and intimate side of club music. Building Something Beautiful For Me (2022), was James’s tribute to the iconic New York minimal composer Julius Eastman, a musical reinterpretation and response to his legacy. In 2023, she released the LP Gentle Confrontation, which explores both her past and present. James says it’s the record she would have liked to have made as a teenager – the album’s musical tendencies reflecting that period in her life. In between albums, James delves into countless impulsive projects – such as her unruly alter ego Whatever The Weather – in which the sheer joy of her creative process is palpable.

This concert is co-presented and commissioned by FIBER Festival and Concertvrienden, Entrée and 4DSOUND. Supported and co-produced by MONOM.
