Loraine James, Puce Mary and Kelman Duran are taking part in an artist residency project in rural Corsica.
The week-long project, dubbed The Providenza Ensemble, is a collaboration between Warp Records and studio space Providenza. It will finish with the three artists recording a joint composition on site, which will later be performed at this year’s Unsound in Kraków with Sinfonietta Cracovia, and also released as an EP.
The residency will encourage the three artists to combine their respective crafts with classical music techniques. Manchester Collective founder Rakhi Singh will take part in workshops exploring how string instruments can be seamlessly integrated into the artists’ work.
Founded by filmmaker Antoine Viviani in 2016, Providenza is located in the Nebbiu region of Corsica. Laurel Halo and Colin Self are among the other artists who have taken part in residency projects at the studio space in the past.
