LISTEN TO THE RELEASES SO FAR, INCLUDING KEELEY FORSYTH, LEE RANALDO, BEN VINCE, YASA ASMAR AND COBY SEY

Louis Carnell today releases the latest in a series of collaborations that has so far seen him work with Keeley Forsyth, Lee Ranaldo, Ben Vince, Yasa Asmar and Coby Sey.

Listen to the looping cavernous worlds that emerge on new track, ‘six’, with Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist KRMU:

111 is curatorial statement from one of the UK’s most elusive artists, drawing on visual, recorded and live performance. The series will comprise of 15 collaborations in total, each unfolding as a cycle of single releases, each created with a diverse selection of artists from across the globe. Louis Carnell conceived of 111 as an endeavour to trace the shape of hope, in an epoch of disintegration.

A new track will emerge on every third Tuesday, with the launch for each creating an environment for the listener to explore the series – without hierarchy – with the aim to question how and with whom we collaborate, and where we can find commonality and community.

The musician, artist, and curator’s work has deep in its heart a concern with both the physical and digital environments where he finds himself. Carnell’s use of sound to interrogate social structures and hierarchy, saw him at the forefront of tackling themes of anxiety, and the connotations of masculinity and race through the entanglement of introspection.

His meticulous attention to the visual world has resulted in collaborations with Arcin

Sagdic, Daniel Sannwald, Frederik Heyman and Peter De Potter and his recent curated events have included performances at Café OTO and Stoke Newington Old Church in London and the Volksbühne in Berlin.

Follow Louis Carnell for news of the 2024 releases in the series, which begin again in January with his collaboration with Okkyung Lee.
