Photo credit: Charlie Soffe   Today Louis Carnell completes his 111 series, sharing a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist, composer and visual artist Damsel Elysium. The new track completes a journey that has seen Carnell work with Keeley Forsyth, Lee Ranaldo, Ben Vince, Yasa Asmar, Coby Sey, KMRU, Okkyung Lee, Wu-Lu, Green-House, Daniel Miller, Laraaji, Marta De Pascalis, Leila, and Nailah Hunter across 15 tracks that are now available digitally and on double vinyl. Listen to “Fifteen” where processed acoustic sources combine with Louis Carnell and Damsel Elysium’s layered vocals, his spoken word opening into a heartfelt lament. Talking about the track, Damsel Elysium says: “Collaborating with Louis on this project felt very natural and connected. I’m honored to have contributed to such a dynamic project with such a talented array of artists.” Listen to the 111 series HERE. 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.” 111 live events have included performances at the ICA (on a bill with Keeley Forsyth, his first collaborator for the series), Café OTO and Stoke Newington Old Church in London and the Volksbühne in Berlin.
