Ain Bailey presents two extended, immersive electronic works. In response to a line from Leslie Thornton’s unsettling 1984 film, Peggy and Fred In Hell: The Prologue, Bailey’s The Pitch Sisters is a multichannel work that considers what a female sonic universe might sound like if we hung around an A flat below middle C. It is an attempt to question fixed notions of gender, whilst celebrating the rich tapestry of women’s voices.

Super JR is a composition that was commissioned by Supernormal and Jupiter Rising Festivals in the summer of 2019. It is an electroacoustic response to the environments at Braziers Park, Oxford and Jupiter Artland, near Edinburgh.
