Cellist, pianist and vocalist Abi Wade creates music that melds electronica, acoustic and pop music. Classically trained, she utilizes a mix of traditional and experimental techniques in her performances, commanding electric drums and triggers at her feet whilst singing and simultaneously layering melodic cello and synth lines.
Her debut LP ‘Beautifully Astray’ was released in April 2018 with support from the PRS for Music Foundation’s Women Make Music award. Visuals for the release have been created in collaboration with renown designers Eley Kishimoto and Abi has been heavily involved in the art direction for this working alongside projection artists, film makers and photographers.
So far she has toured the UK & Europe with Patrick Wolf, sold out her debut EP and released music on the label set up by Daniel Copeman of Esben & The Witch, who also produces her music. She has played shows with the likes of CocoRosie, Polica, Michael Kiwanuka, Other Lives, Deptford Goth and festivals such as End of The Road, The Great Escape and Wilderness. She recorded her debut album at Amazing Grace studios with Daniel at the helm and with the support of the Help Musicians UK Emerging Excellence Award. Typically ambitious, the recordings include an orchestra and various field recordings of diverse sounds such as a fishing boat at sea, a church organ and a tap dancing class.

Artist & Movician, Di Mainstone creates sonic sculptures, that extend from the body and trigger sound via movement…
The New York Times has featured Di Mainstone as one of the “new generation visionaries” of the international digital arts scene. A global ambassador for audio brand Sennheiser, Di Mainstone is artist in residence at Queen Mary University London where she collaborates with researchers from the Centre for Digital Music and Media Arts & Technology group, to develop new musical instruments that are inspired by the body, transforming physical movement into sound via digital technology. Di has invented the term “Movician” to describe the player of these instruments – a hybrid artist who explores and composes sound through movement.
In this conversation, Di will be talking about her passion for fashion, technology, human harps & her project ‘Time Bascule,’ for Tower Bridge.
