about

THE VISIBLE LIGHT OF OTHER WORLDS is the 12th solo album from the UK based Composer, Performer and Improviser Laura Cannell. Recently hailed as "The Radical Neo-medieval Musician Laura Cannell" by The Guardian. Her latest album evokes a strange new world between renaissance consort music, neo-classical & ambient music.

This is the sound of fog in a canyon light years from earth, the tempestuous flames of the sun's surface, the imagined movement of sand in fields of dark dunes, the hurricane spirals of uninhabitable worlds. It is the residue and archived energy of long gone forests, the restless oceans and curving rift valleys of unknown lands in the untouchable reaches of the universe.

Laura Cannell’s 12th album is for an imagined soundtrack to the landscape of worlds we will never touch.

In The Visible Light of Other Worlds Laura leans into the deep melancholic sound of her octave violin - strung with deep broad strings, giving her music a slightly otherworldly ‘not quite a cello’ sound. Alongside the octave violin she brings in bass recorder and overbowed violin, layering instruments and evoking a strange ensemble somewhere between renaissance consorts and string quartets. Every part is played by Laura.

Over the past ten years Laura Cannell’s music has become synonymous with recognisable landscapes, emotional sonic depictions of place, fragments of medieval music, folklore and of a kind of abstract storytelling. This album is about connecting with something other worldly and tapping into purely imagined lands. The 11 tracks were written and recorded in an intimate home studio setting - inspired by space and planetary images from NASA. The album is a deep inner world responding and sending signals to the furthest reaches.

“The Visible Light of Other Worlds - Album liner notes - Laura Cannell August 2025

It never stays the same. We never stay the same. When I look into the dark skies sometimes I hear music from distant landscapes that I will never see. It is music that I haven't yet written, but somehow exists within. How is the earth's edge only 62 vertical miles from here? Every time there is a clear sky we see other worlds, I can hear them as I look past the edges. I can sense a soundscape for imagined lands, an invisible film”.
