Press room

Electrifying composer Nala Sinephro makes her Barbican debut, bringing her unique, blended jazz sound to the Hall.

Sinephro’s music is equal parts meditative and ecstatic, mixing jazz sensibilities with folk and field recordings. Her musical practice is rooted in the study of frequency and geometry and guided by the premise that sound moves matter. 

Her debut album Space 1.8 was released in 2021 on Warp Records to much critical acclaim. It takes shape as a metaphysical structure - where each curative space is an orb-like cocoon created by Sinephro in service of relief and affirmative, ecstatic freedom.

Space 1.8 was composed, produced, performed, engineered, recorded and mixed by Sinephro, at age 22. On the album, she plays modular synths and pedal harp alongside her friends James Mollison, Shirley Tetteh, Nubya Garcia, Natcyet Wakili and more.

In her debut Barbican performance she will be joined by her band to perform a special one-off show.

Produced by the Barbican and Parallel Lines
