About
Alice Boyd is a musician, sound artist and audio producer based in South London. Blending folk-inspired harmonies, ambient electronic textures and immersive field recordings, her work explores our interconnectedness with the natural world and reveals the hidden sounds of our environments. Her multidisciplinary practice spans music and live performance, spatial and site-specific installations, and producing and presenting radio, podcasts, and directly with her digital audience.
Since her time as artist-in-residence at the Eden Project, Alice has performed in botanical gardens, ancient woodlands, mountainsides and music venues across the UK. Her music has been featured on BBC Radio 3, 4 and 6, and BBC Introducing.
Field recording is a core part of Alice’s process. She presents Found Sounds, a monthly episode of Ffern’s ‘As The Season Turns’ podcast, and recently created Shifting Soundscapes for BBC Radio 4, retracing the footsteps of legendary field recordist Martyn Stewart to document changing sonic environments. She has also hosted BBC Countryfile Magazine’s The Plodcast and given a TEDx talk on listening as a tool for change.
Alice crafts rich sound worlds for radio documentaries (Lithified, BBC Radio 4), podcasts (The Root of the Matter, Wellcome Collection), and installations (The Sounds of King’s Cross at Kings Place). In 2025, she continues to expand her practice with projects for Knepp Rewilding, RSPB, and Britten Pears Arts, as well as her own musical journey.

“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. ”
