Loula Yorke is an award-winning composer, sound artist and modular synthesist based in the UK. Loula plays live music with her custom-built wide-frequency analogue modular synthesiser, creating deep trance-inducing sounds at the intersection between rave, minimalism and drone. Her sets explore movement and psychoacoustics: the way systems loop and feed back; melodies stretch like waking limbs; arpeggios ripple and fold, while circuits glint and return, changed. Loula has performed widely, weaving her synthetic patterns into captivating sound worlds in churches, warehouses and arts centres such as Café Oto in London, Boundaries Festival in Sunderland and Tabakalera in San Sebastián. Loula has released music on labels such as Truxalis, DiN, quiet details and Castles in Space; albums which have made AOTY lists in Electronic Sound and Moonbuilding two years running, and been featured in sonic arts magazines such as The Wire, The Quietus, Zen Sounds, First Floor and more. Saturday 21st March. PWYC ticket link in bio

Nik Colk Void is an electronic musician and artist with a vast reputation in experimental shapeshifting and collaboration. Void’s interests lie in the unconventional encounters with her tools, both analogue and digital, as a means of expression. Her key instruments are voice, guitar, and modular euro-rack systems engaging in a new language using extended technique and cut-up sampling through synthesis. As a result, the blends of her compositional tracks lean towards techno, club, experimental and noise. UK based, Void has produced eight acclaimed studio albums with her musical groups Factory Floor (Gabriel Gurnsey & Dominic Butler), Carter Tutti Void (Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti) and NPVR with the late Peter Rehberg, releasing via Mute, DFA, Blast First, Editions Mego and Industrial.

The third artist to perform on 21 March for Iklectik x YARMONICS is Ireen Amnes. Ireen Amnes is a Berlin/London-based artist, producer, and DJ known for her genre-defying approach to the leftfield side of electronic music, blending noise, industrial elements, and experimental sounds. Originally a metal singer and instrumentalist, she transitioned into electronic music, crafting moody, hardware-driven live sets that merge melancholic atmospheres with distorted rhythms. In 2015, she founded Under My Feet., a collective and label exploring power electronics and experimental sounds. As a resident DJ at Tresor Berlin, Ireen’s performances fuse avant-garde textures with techno rhythms, earning her spots at iconic venues like Berghain, Kraftwerk, Basement NY, and festivals such as Atonal and CTM Vorspiel. Renowned for her genre-defying productions, Ireen has collaborated with acclaimed artists like Drew McDowall of Coil, Sorcery, Chloe Lula, and Kamikaze Space Programme. She and Sorcery won the prestigious Raster open call for Soundtrack Europe 2025, with their work featured in a project for the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025. Ireen also contributed to Imogen Heap's track What Have You Done to Me, further cementing her reputation as a versatile artist.

Presented as part of YARMONICS year-round programme. VOICE SIREN WALK Tristan Shorr & Rae Champion (CONCRETE) in collaboration with Lomond Campbell Friday 17 October · 2pm Sunday 19 October · 2pm & 4pm Great Yarmouth seafront — from Sara’s Tearooms to the Premier Inn FREE - link in bio The Voice Siren Walk is the outdoor strand of MAS(S) — a powerful collective listening experience. A network of loudspeakers runs along the beach, transmitting an evolving soundscape created from the recorded testimonies of eight Ukrainian artists and refugees. Their voices rise and fall across the coastline, culminating in a haunting siren call that echoes out to sea. Audiences are invited to walk together along the beach edge, tracing this temporary sonic border and listening as the sound shifts with the landscape — a poetic reflection on displacement, migration, and shared responsibility. Meeting point: Beach side of Sara’s Tearooms Walk duration: Approx. 45 mins Fully accessible route, with nearby parking and toilets. Co-commissioned by @counterpointsarts . Presented in partnership with Yarmonics, as part of the Platforma Festival (October 2025) produced by Counterpoints Arts. Supported by Arts Council England.

MAS(S) ‘Word Machine’ Presented at PrimeYarc as part of YARMONICS 2025 @yarmonics MAS(S) is a new work by artists Rae Champion and Tristan Shorr (CONCRETE) @concreteresounds MAS(S) is a sound art project exploring migration, refugees, war and loss through the human voice. 'Word Machine’ is the first in a series of generative machines that create a sound score from the voices of refugees and migrants. The voices heard here are from 8 Ukrainian artists/ refugees that (CONCRETE) lived and worked with in the North of Sweden after the war broke out in Ukraine in 2022. 'Word Machine’ utilises its record style stylus arms to scan and trigger the magnetic pins along the rotating disc, opening banks of words taken from recordings with Ukrainian artists/ refugees over the past 3 years. As the disc rotates single words are randomly generated and then slowly morph into sonic textures and glitched out layers of sound. The machines have been designed and built in collaboration with artist Lomond Campbell @lomond_campbell MAS(S) will be exhibited in full at PrimeYarc from 17-26 October as part of Counterpoints Arts’ @counterpointsarts Platforma Festival 2025, including presentations of Siren Walk where participants can walk the sirens’ call, the voices of migration, along a stretch of local coast. Siren Walk will take place on Friday 17 and Sunday 19 October. Thanks to Arts Council England for their support YARMONICS is produced by originalprojects; and Eastern Ear
