Whatever The Weather

Loraine James

Join visionary London producer Loraine James for a special live presentation of her ambient-leaning alias Whatever The Weather.

Experience a rare live performance from one of electronic music's most inventive voices. Known for her boundary-pushing releases on Hyperdub, James reserves her alias, Whatever The Weather, for a more impressionistic, inward gaze, using sound to trace emotional temperature and texture.

Her latest album, Whatever The Weather II, moves through hypnotic ambience, collage-like soundscapes and diaristic field recordings. James seamlessly crafts immersive soundscapes that invite you to pause, reflect and experience music that feels both expansive and intimate. The result is a uniquely textured and heartfelt sonic palette, merging analogue and digital methods into something entirely her own.

This concert may contain strobe lighting effects and haze.

End time for this performance will be added nearer to the event date.

Produced by the Barbican in association with Bird on the Wire.
