Leila Bordreuil
These days, I am mostly sat at my desk watching two great tits hack away at the fat balls in the feeder, while Philip next door water pistols the squirrels and cats. In an effort to get out of this rut and conjure that special grotbag je ne sais quoi of the out-out I so dearly miss, myself and Moats have turned our shed into a pub/venue called THE BASTARD. I built a bar from scrap wood, he painted a sign on a bit of old laminate flooring.

Verity Sharp presents an exclusive collaboration between two musicians who have never met: the sound artist Kate Carr and cellist Leila Bordreuil.
Kate Carr is an Australian sound artist and field recordist currently based in London. Her work often explores people and place, with a particular interest in the complex relationships between natural and built environments. Her music blurs the boundaries between field recording and electronics to articulate a wonder in the everyday. Leila Bordreuil is a cellist and composer, originally from France and now in New York. Using her cello as her starting point, she uses improvisation and amplification to explore noise and texture. Her work often aims to interact with the listener’s tonal perception and their physiological relationship to space and sound.

jenna: one of the topics we talked a lot about is this record-breaking heat this summer but we ve also had some record-breaking tragedies as well. a record number of children dying of heatstroke because they were left inside of a car either on purpose or unintentionally. in fact during the first week of august eight children died. that s why we wanted to talk to kate carr, president of safe kids worldwide. this is group trying to draw more tension to this happening. kate, why is this happening? we all know we shouldn t do this. why is it still happening? it happens for three reasons. as you mentioned, parents, or caregivers can forget they have their child in the car as they go about their very stressful and busy day and that happens a lot when routines change. secondly, kids can get into cars on their own. kids love to imitate what adults do. they get into cars and can t get out of on their own.
