Lou Barnell is an award-winning sound and performance artist and radio DJ. She is one of Sound and Music's New

Voices 2022 Composers. She was winner of the 2021 Oram Awards, supported by The PRS Foundation and BBC Radiophonic Institute in recognition of innovation in sound and technology. Lou’s work gives language to her alienating and disorientating experiences of being a neurodivergent woman. It communicates her synaesthetic experience of sound, hyperfocus and sensory overload. Her work is a brutalist hypnotic soup of electronic soft and hardware, visceral sonic textures, improvised voice, material speculation and movement.

Lou reconsiders her body as a mirror, reflecting and refracting parallel states of dreaming and performance.

She uses wearable sensors and biorhythmic data to play and score music. She creates scores and live performances with sculpted, shapeshifting re-useable materials.
