About
Alice Boyd is a South London-based musician, sound artist and audio producer whose work explores our relationship with the natural world through song, field recording and immersive listening.
Blending folk-inspired harmonies with ambient electronics and environmental sound, she creates work that reveals the hidden textures of everyday places - from endangered birdsong and underwater life to urban spaces and sounds lost to time.
Her work spans music, spatial audio installations and broadcast, with features on BBC Radio 3, 4 and 6 Music, and presentations at venues including the Barbican Conservatory, Kings Place, Kew’s Wakehurst and the Eden Project, where she was artist-in-residence.
She is the creator of the BBC Radio 4 documentary Shifting Soundscapes and produces Found Sounds for Ffern’s podcast As the Season Turns, with other recent collaborations including the RSPB, EarthPercent, Knepp Rewilding and TOAST. In 2025-26, she supported Yann Tiersen on his European tour, with a performance combining voice, synths, live looping and field recordings.

“Alice’s music beautifully reframes the urgent climate crisis into an opportunity for reconnection with nature.”
“Beautiful”
“Such a perfectly realised amalgamation of concept, melody and landscape is vanishingly rare, but Boyd achieves it with an easy grace.”
“Alice’s work is visceral, playful and innately communicative.”
“A perfectly judged tangle of synthetic and human voices, silences, field recordings, and unearthly gurgles that challenges as much as it immerses you... From The Understory feels like one of those precious first albums that contains the untapped energy of everything that could happen next. ”
“An enchanting EP that begs the listener to consider their status as a terrestrial”
