Introducing felix taylor, one of 28 artists selected for Cove Park’s 2025-2026 Annual Awarded Residencies. These fully funded residencies were awarded following an open call that received over 1,200 submissions from applicants representing every art form. The opportunity was open to individuals based in Scotland and the UK, as well as in Central and South America or its diaspora. felix taylor is an artist and composer from South London. Primarily interested in memory, loss and hauntings. In his installation work, felix explores the different ways music and sound is recorded and reproduced, looking to graphic scores, fm radio and custom built, percussive amplifiers. These explorations often include music composed by felix, alongside speech, performance and field recordings created socially in workshops and recording sessions, often with non musicians. In composition, felix has written music for numerous performances, recordings and films in collaboration with other artists including: Philip Glass, Babry Asante, Languid Hands, Hope Strickland, Samra Mayanja, Jamila Prowse, Libita Sibungu and Imani Mason Jordan. While at Cove Park, felix will spend time reflecting on past installation works and developing new scoring and composition practices for upcoming projects. felix is a former resident (Open Residency, 2023) and we look forward to welcoming him back next month!

THE CALL CENTRE #12 ——— Jemma Desai “I do not want what I haven’t got (I said I loved you and I wanted)”’ Jemma Desai is a daughter and a mother  searching for arrangements that hold, nurture and strengthen bonds of love. At the centre of her work is a wound, which is also an attunement: to the conditions which dictate what is disclosed, made vulnerable or protected, especially in relationships of asymmetric power. @iamjemmadesai * DATE: SATURDAY 8 NOV DOORS: 6.30PM START: 7PM (TIX IN BIO) ADDRESS: SENT TO TICKET HOLDERS ONLY  * Curation: Samra Mayanja  Production: Mairéad Ruane & Munesu Mukombe. Tech: Samuel Lanchin 🥰 THE CALL CENTRE is a performance programme dedicated to the voice and the unspeakable. Each month (June - December) I invite contemporary artists and writers that I am obsessed with to share a new work in my studio — it’s iconic (can’t lie). 📸/: me + a haunting + lovely felix at the last call centre

During Frieze Week, @elephantmagazine — easily one of our favourite cultural publications — shared a long, wholehearted conversation between us and three sonic artists (brought together by @alexritaa ) about translating the visual art of Rachel Jones (@jo.nesr ) into sound. We reunited with Afromerm (@afromerm ), Rohan Ayinde (@rohanayinde ) and Felix Taylor (@__felixtaylor ) months after their spoken word, classical piano and experimental synthesis reverberated through the packed wooden pews of the @dulwichgallery 's chapel. The discussion flies in many directions: their feelings on recording the performance to vinyl, the trust, intuition and openness that shaped their collaboration and much more. 'Rachel Jones: Gated Canyons - A Sonic Response' is available on limited edition atlantic pearl 12" vinyl via our @Touching_Bass Bandcamp. 🎥: @obtikare 🖊: @almafeigis

“I enjoy having visual cues to show me what the pacing should be, how to move, what the quality of the timbre will be. There was one particular motif of these icicle-esque structures towards the end that I evoked with the crystalline, almost tinny quality of the flute synth. I was talking to Rachel afterwards, and she was like, “Yeah, I heard the icicles!” There’s a lot we infer in art, and you can’t help but fear if you were just projecting. That’s the whole thing, right? Artistic analysis is projecting your own experience and combining that with what the artist’s intentions might have been. It’s special to have moments where your interpretation does align.” #afromerm The Touching Bass duo, Errol (@errol.and ) and Alex Rita (@alexritaa ), spoke with afromerm (@afromerm ), Rohan Ayinde (@rohanayinde ) and felix taylor (@__felixtaylor ) about translating the visual art of Rachel Jones (@jo.nesr ) into sound.

How do you write a song about a painting? In July this year, three south London musicians: @Afromerm , @__FelixTaylor and @RohanAyinde created a series of new compositions in response to Gated Canyons, an exhibition of paintings by the artist Rachel Jones (@jo.nesr ), currently on view at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Thanks to a collaboration with @errol.and and @alexritaa ’s South London musical movement @Touching_Bass , the artists performed these songs live in front of an audience at Dulwich Picture Gallery. The performance was recorded for an album, to be released on vinyl tomorrow. This film by @issabellaorlando is a document of the project, revealing how the artists responded intuitively to motifs within Rachel Jones’ riotous, psychedelic paintings to create a truly special body of work. Watch the full film on YouTube, and listen to the album for yourself on Bandcamp. The vinyl is available to pre-order today and orders will be fulfilled from next week.

TOMORROW 🎶 remnant horizons 🎶 Sound performances by felix taylor (@__felixtaylor ) and Action Pyramid (@actionpyramid ), for and with Crossness Nature Reserve 📅 19 September, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm (performance begins at 7:00 pm) 📍 TACO! 2 Cygnet Sq, Thamesmead, London SE2 9FA (@tracey_aint_coming_out ) 🔗 This is a free event, and everyone is welcome! Book your place via the link in our bio. What does it mean to stand with a land under threat? To raise your voice - not above - but with the wetland, the birds, the insects and the grasses? To feel that the place you defend is not outside of you, but a part of who you are? 🤲 🐝 Tomorrow, on 19 September, we will gather to listen and respond. Through live sound performances by felix taylor and Action Pyramid, created in dialogue with the Crossness Nature Reserve and its Friends, we will hear the quiet resistance of the marshes, and the calls of those who speak for them. The work echoes the ongoing struggle to protect this fragile ecosystem from looming industrial redevelopment 🏭 As night folds in, human and more-than-human voices will intertwine in a kind of choir; an anthem, a requiem, a call for care. The event will also mark the closing of Sarah White’s (@sssarahwhite_ ) photography exhibition at the Thamesmead Library, and carry forward conversations begun earlier this year. 🎶 remnant horizons 🎶 is a part of Beneath the Pavement, the Marshes, a three-year artistic research programme bringing together artists, ecologists and activists, with local ecological and community groups working in North Bexley, to explore the ground beneath our feet.
