The Silver Field
The Silver Field is a sound world of Coral Rose Kindred-Boothby. Voice, tapes, bass, samples, synthesis, strings, reeds, drums, small sounds, big sounds, sunlight, moonlight, a lot of water.
Using her modular synthesiser and other self-built electronic instruments, she weaves together song-soundscapes, creating a rich and dream-like tapestry of sound that draws from folk music tradition, experimental electronics and psychedelia.
Her LPs 'Rooms' and 'Sing High! Sing Low!', and split EP with Betwixt & Between Tapes received press in The Guardian, Mojo and The Quietus among others, and have had radio play and guest playlists on BBC 6Music and NTS.
Her instrument design work has been showcased at Arusha Gallery (London), Haarlem Artspace (Wirksworth), ArcadeCampfa (Cardiff), Herrretics (Wirksworth), Firestation Creative (Dunfermline), and The Field (Ilkeston).
In 2024 she received an Oram Award, and in 2021 she was the recipient of Arts Council England's DYCP grant.
