About the artists
Rory Pilgrim is a multidisciplinary artist working across songwriting, composition, films, texts, drawings, paintings and live performances. Pilgrim aims to challenge the nature of how we come together, speak, listen and strive for social change through sharing and voicing personal experience.
Robyn Haddon is a singer and producer based in Sheffield, UK. She is interested in voice and song as a powerful processing tool and writes music through strategies of improvisation and vocal processing technologies. She is currently working on a new body of work called Spills, an experimental songwriting project which plays with electronics, collaboration and group singing. The first release as part of this project, Spills Part 1 is available to stream on Bandcamp now.
Robyn is a long-term collaborator of Rory Pilgrim. Together they use songwriting to platform social urgencies; such as care, connectedness and the climate crisis, hoping that music creates a neutral space to come together and explore solutions. Robyn has performed as part of Rory's work at a broad range of venues and festivals, including Centre Pompidou, Stedelijk Museum, Transmediale and Glastonbury Abbey.
