Llais · Oramic Waves Social

Event Info

A community event, in collaboration with the Oram Awards & Tŷ Cerdd | Music Wales, aimed at experimental and explorative artists, audience, and grassroots organisers alike, to connect, share experiences and enjoy some food and excellent music!

Welcoming all kinds of ways to engage with community, there will be space to get fully involved in conversation and quiet space options away from the bustle and headphone listening stations set up around the space. The social & food (all diets catered for) will form the first part of the event, then we will move into performances from:

Rachel Devorah Rome & Pam Rose Cott

A first time live improvisation between two artists deep rooted in experimental practices.

May Swoon / Neo Ukandu 

Neo Ukandu is Wales’ very own disabled experimental pop and indie-electronica maverick.

Rachel Devorah Rome – 2026 Oram Award winner

Rachel Devorah Rome is an electronic musician who values machines for their patience and capacity to remember. Interested in the parallels between the physical properties & social meanings of spaces. Rachel produces live collaborative improvised music with multi-genre artists.

Pam Rose Cott – Tŷ Cerdd artist

Pam Rose Cott is a vocalist based in Cardiff her work exists mainly in the realms of spectacle, performance and improvised sound, now branching out into her first official release ‘Nosegay’ (a small posey of flowers carried by women in front of their face for protection from foul odours and disease). She performs in pursuit of rage, endurance, vulnerability and connection.

May Swoon / Neo Ukandu – 2026 Oram Award winner

The figurehead of two innovative projects, May Swoon & Friends Are Evul, Neo finds solace in messing with the DIY and unpredictable. Using noise, glitch effects, hardware samplers and self-created synth patches to create tracks. Neo is on a mission to share experimental electronic music creation with their disabled peers through release and resistance.

Proudly part of Cardiff Music City Festival.
