About
Alice Boyd is a musician, sound artist and creative audio producer based in South London. Blending folk-inspired harmonies, immersive field recordings and ambient electronic textures, 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 audio stories across radio, podcasts and digital media.
Since her time as artist-in-residence at the Eden Project - where she used biosonification to transform the electrical signals of plants into music - Alice has performed in botanical gardens, ancient woodlands, mountainsides and music venues across the UK, including the Barbican Conservatory, Kings Place and the Eden Project’s Rainforest Biome.
Alice’s music has been supported on BBC Radio 3, 4 and 6, including by Cerys Matthews on BBC 6 Music and Night Tracks on BBC Radio 3. She has also been featured in publications such as DJ Mag, TOAST Magazine and KLOF Mag. Her collaborations range from Adam Buxton and Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, to organisations including the BBC, Kew’s Wakehurst and the Wellcome Collection.
Advocacy for our natural world runs deep through all of Alice’s work. She participated in the Sounds Right ‘Feat. NATURE’ initiative - alongside artists including Aurora, London Grammar, MØ, and Hozier - to give nature official artist status on streaming platforms. She also produces Found Sounds, a monthly episode of Ffern’s As The Season Turns podcast; created the BBC Radio 4 documentary Shifting Soundscapes, retracing the footsteps of legendary field recordist Martyn Stewart, and has given a TEDx talk on listening as a tool for change.
Through her richly layered sound worlds - spanning radio documentaries (Lithified, BBC Radio 4), podcasts (The Root of the Matter, Wellcome Collection) and immersive installations (The Sounds of King’s Cross at Kings Place) - Alice invites audiences to rediscover their connection to place, nature and one another. In 2025, she continues to expand her practice with new projects for Knepp Rewilding, the RSPB, and Britten Pears Arts, as well as her own evolving 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. ”
