About
Alice Boyd is a South London-based musician, sound artist and audio producer whose work invites people to listen more closely to the natural world, and to our place within it.
Working with voice, field recordings, composition and interview, she creates songs and sound works that explore our connection to the landscapes we call home. Her projects bring together environmental sound and human stories, documenting ecological change and the people, practices and traditions imagining more hopeful futures.
Spanning live performance, music releases, sound installations and broadcast, Alice’s work has featured on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4 and 6 Music, with performances and presentations for organisations including the Barbican Conservatory, National Gallery, Kings Place, Kew’s Wakehurst, TEDx and the Eden Project, where she was artist-in-residence.
She created the BBC Radio 4 documentary Shifting Soundscapes, presents Found Sounds for Ffern’s podcast As the Season Turns, and co-produces BBC Radio 3 Unwind’s Sleep Tracks. Other recent collaborations include the RSPB, EarthPercent, Knepp Wildland and TOAST. In 2025-26, she supported Yann Tiersen on his European tour.

“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”
