Sound UK’s artist development programme, Sound Generator, supports early career artists and the work they present.
In this series of spotlight interviews, we find out more about the artists on our 2024-25 artist development programme and learn more about their Sound Generator projects.
This week, we talk to Madame Ceski.
Welsh performer-composer Madame Ceski's work explores rural culture, traditions & environment, through contemporary experimentation and improvisation. Her multidisciplinary output varies from sound, song, video, graphic score, installation to social practice. Over the past year Madame Ceski has been exploring climate justice within her practice (Codi BWM! with Articulture & OCM), leading towards kinetic sound work.
For Sound Generator, Madame Ceski is researching and developing a new live, immersive outdoor performance piece exploring clean air, landscape and community through a playful soundscape. Titled ‘Kite Song’, the work will be performed by the public and will weave together sounds of aeolian whistling kites alongside a roaming multichannel vocal composition.

“I wanted to get a project going where I could think really big and this is the first step for that.” Madame Ceski
We look forward to sharing more details about Madame Ceski's Sound Generator project as it develops. Visit Madame Ceski's website to find out more about their work.
Sound Generator is Sound UK's artist research and development (R&D) programme that supports early-career artists and seeds the development of an ambitious new project. Following an open call, a panel of judges including leading figures across contemporary music, chose six emerging artists working at the forefront of sound and music.
Sound Generator supports artists in the first 5-10 years of their career. Over the six month programme, they each receive mentoring by a range of professionals to develop a project ready for showcasing to the industry.
