111 – Dania, Louis Carnell, Laura Kampman
Hosted by 111
111 is a curatorial project that seeks to explore what hope looks like in a time of collapse and uncertainty.
An architect of textured, neo-ambient soundscapes, Dania explores both sound and identity, focusing specifically on how the latter has fractured in a post-colonial world. Born in Baghdad, raised in Tasmania, and now based in Barcelona, she moves between cultures and continents, her amorphous creative vision directly tied to her transient existence.
The founder of the experimental platform Paralaxe Editions, Dania divides her time between Spain and the remote corners of Australia, where she works as an emergency doctor. Her musical practice, however, is preoccupied with harmonics and tonality, weaving together manipulated vocal fragments, processed field recordings and meditative atmospheres.
Dania has performed in places such as Café OTO, Sonic Acts and Sónar. She is a 2024/25 SHAPE platform artist for experimental A/V art. Her music projects and compositions have appeared on labels such as Geographic North, Ecstatic, Superpang, OOH-sounds and Longform Editions.
She is an orbiting resident at Hangar BCN, where she curates live performances. In November 2025 she will be a guest composer at EMS Elektronmusikstudion.
Louis Carnell is a musician, artist, and curator. Carnell’s work has deep in its heart a concern with both the physical and digital environments, currently releasing on Mute Records.
With an extensive history in experimental music, his previous venture included performances globally (London Contemporary Music Festival, Rewire, South London Gallery) & contributions to the Tate & M Woods Museum, this vein continued with a contribution to Issue Project Room & a number of performances & curated events across Europe (Cafe Oto, Roter Salon, Casa Montjuic, Volumes)
His live performance ‘17’, a number Louis holds dear as he shares it with his Granny in terms of the day they were born on. Music is formed in restriction of 17 elements, and incorporates sounds from CD’s Louis inherited after his Granny’s passing.
The music infuses ambient & drone electronics, choral rituals, the voice & song creating work of condition & reflection, as he seeks to find light from an unguarded darkness, encouraging an act of stillness.
Louis Carnell’s record ‘111’ emerged as a cycle of 15 single releases, with the aim of creating an environment for the listener to explore the series without hierarchy, questioning how and with whom we collaborate, and where we can find commonality & community.
Within the ‘111’ environment Louis has also explored design creating a performance table and ring collection, a combination of Carnell’s music and a meticulous focus on visual art has meant that he has collaborated with an array of influential visual artists such Arcin Sagdic et al.
Laura Kampman is a photographer and composer who, in recent years, has shifted her focus from capturing images to capturing sound. Using her phone, she records the sounds of her surroundings: conversations, melodies, objects and intimate moments with loved ones.
These recordings are woven into intimitaly layered compositions. Her debut album Coming into daily life (2024) was featured in the year-end list of Boomkat, one of the leading independent online record stores for innovative music.
In her live set, Laura connects four phones to a mixer, transforming spoken notes and location recordings into richly textured soundscapes. She blends found sounds with guitar and synthesizer songs into a shimmering, cathartic soundworld.”
‘111’ is an endeavour to trace the shape of hope, in an epoch of disintegration, a curatorial statement from Louis Carnell. Each event brings 3 live performances rooted in the expression of Carnell’s collaborative record that shares the same name.
