Listen to “thirteen” with Leila HERE. Listen to the 111 series so far HERE. Talking about the collaboration, Leila explains, “I originally met Louis in the mid 2010s, and really liked his spirit (and the fact that he plays pool). He has a very broad knowledge and vision for music so when he asked if I would like to be involved in a project with him, it was an unreserved “yes”. A lot of my music is based around a recurring central motif and the morphing and varying occurrences within the central theme (like a thought and the tangents that come and go as you “consider”). Louis came over to my studio, and we started with the pizzicato string melody / harmonies and then added some Jupiter 8 and effects passes for the heavier parts. We then sent the track back and forth until we had what felt like a story, a little vignette.” Each track in the series is accompanied by one of three visual works by Arcin Sagdic (Maison Margiela, COMME des GARÇONS, Burberry) and Louis Carnell, extending Carnell’s visual collaborations that have included Daniel Sannwald, Frederik Heyman and Peter De Potter. Carnell explains the project, "As the engine of modern life funnels us into states of loss and isolation, 111 aims at a utopian poetics of hope. Re-aligning connections by exploring mutual spaces 111 attempts to empower its listener & forms an equivalent environment for each collaboration. Each artist that features on 111 has provided me with multiple moments of solitude and resilience, & I’m thankful to them all. Visually there are no obvious signifiers of hope, a reflection on the feeling or practice is individual to its arbitrator, but in their existence, we form a foundation of promise & possibility." Carnell is scheduled to perform at the ICA, London on May 23, 2024 on a bill with Keeley Forsyth, his first collaborator for the series. 111 live events have included performances at Café OTO and Stoke Newington Old Church in London and the Volksbühne in Berlin.   ​​LIVE DATES: 5/23/2024 - London, UK -  ICA (supporting Keeley Forsyth)
