Luce Mawdsley

Expansively cinematic instrumentals conjuring queer cowboy landscapes via the Northern English coastline. Luce Mawdsley (they/them) is an autistic non-binary composer and guitarist based in Liverpool with a practice rooted in progressive experimentation. Drawing from a range of poetic art forms, their work uses personal experience of neurodivergence, mental health disorders and queerness as a ligature from which to generate subversive explorations of gender, sexuality, place and identity formation.

An adopted member of the Scottish DIY music scene, whose life and art have been profoundly influenced by northern landscapes and climates, L.T. Leif is rooted in the self-sufficient spirit of the Canadian prairies. Leif sings mud folk lullabies with themes that are personal, reflective, and distilled, and carry an attention to detail that reveals a generosity and an openness of both heart and thinking.
