12. Laura CannellSimultaneous Flight Movement
When you come across an artist that you know has the same sensibility as you, and you work with them, it’s just fantastic. I love Laura so much. The way she can play two recorders, and the fiddle, and create music that sits in such a strange place, in that it sounds very old and really new at the same time – I find it just extraordinary. 

I met Laura when we did this programme called Open Ear on Radio 3. It’s like Jools Holland but for weirdos. [laughs] Ipek Gorgun was on there too, who is amazing – ha, I snuck another in there! She’s a Turkish sound artist and composer and so, so good – look her up now.  What I love about Laura, though, is that she’s so inquisitive and talented, but such a lovely person too. She worked with me on Beyond The Deepening Shadow, and she brought so much depth and beauty to it. Everything she’s done is fantastic.
