Enid is a collective of artists, musicians and sound engineers led by academic and multi-instrumentalist Laura Lee (Parachute for Gordo). Enid’s Yes! is an album produced during a single live performance as Laura Lee’s ethereal, fractured soundscapes combine with James Wright’s live studio manipulation, structured and punctuated by Mark Glaister’s tripped-out percussion. Musicians and engineers form a single unit as live performance is simultaneously affected, recorded and mixed as the music itself is produced. The result is a dizzying mix of textures and influences, alternately calm and frantic, reflective and boundlessly explorative. The artistic artefact of research is an individually hand-cut vinyl record.
The artefact and documentation of Yes! was exhibited at the West End Centre (2022) and South Hill Park (2023). Laura was joined by synaesthetic artist Karina Fraser as she presented stunning new paintings in response to, and inspired by, the Enid project at all stages of development. This echoes the context of Yes! using pedals, speakers, and studio effects to create an entirely different sound from that of the instruments in their purest state. The pigment takes its form, running across the canvas and splitting as the solvent evaporates, leaving traces where they lie.
