Cara Tolmie’s mixtape

Available for 13 days

Verity Sharp presents an exclusive Late Junction mixtape from Cara Tolmie. Following on from her acclaimed 2025 release ‘Body Lapse’, a collaboration with Rian Treanor, Tolmie here explores her sonic roots and shares formative influences and firm favourites in the creation of vibrant musical collage. A Glasgow-born, Sweden-based artist and improviser, Tolmie’s artistic aim is - as she puts it - to ‘complexify the bind between voice and body via mesmerising and uncanny vocalisations.’ This is achieved in her music through her own practice of ‘internal singing’, in which breath, movement, repetitive phrases and sung fragments are used to explore the limits of vocalisation. Tolmie’s projects and performances dig into the uncanny power of voice distortion, effects created through both technological and corporeal means. Elsewhere in the show: The Early delight in dense basement clattering; and Mohammad Reza Mortazavi conjures intricate, deft and swampy timbres on the Iranian tombak.
