2023 Oram Award winner afromerm – also known as Cil – is a South London-born sound artist, composer, producer and poet. Her practice combines electronic music vocal and poetic disciplines to construct intricate, evolving soundscapes that draw from contemporary, jazz and cinematic sound-worlds. Juniper, a motion-reactive instrument Cil built in 2020 as part on ongoing research project, is a tool she uses on stage as afromerm, to manipulate sound: from live loops, to elements of synthesis, to the timbres of her live collaborators.
