THE VISIBLE LIGHT OF OTHER WORLDS, Laura Cannell

Published September 12, 2025 by Warren Ellis

THE VISIBLE LIGHT OF OTHER WORLDS is the 12th solo album from the UK based Composer, Performer and Improviser Laura Cannell. Recently hailed as “The Radical Neo-medieval Musician Laura Cannell” by The Guardian. Her latest album evokes a strange new world between renaissance consort music, neo-classical & ambient music.

This is the sound of fog in a canyon light years from earth, the tempestuous flames of the sun’s surface, the imagined movement of sand in fields of dark dunes, the hurricane spirals of uninhabitable worlds. It is the residue and archived energy of long gone forests, the restless oceans and curving rift valleys of unknown lands in the untouchable reaches of the universe.

I suspect this embed won’t work, but I got reminded of the time I stayed at the Juvet Landscape Hotel, now famed as the location for EX MACHINA and SUCCESSION season 4:

Edie Campbell profile:

As part of my rapid acceleration into my boomer years, I almost always have my phone on loud. It goes back on silent as soon as I get inside the M25. But in the country, where it’s windy and blowy, I have it on loud because I don’t hear it otherwise. Also when someone calls me, it announces who is calling. I am actually 70.

Someone explain to me how Mads Mikkelsen makes the worst colours in the world work for him? See also literally every episode of HANNIBAL.

Beautiful day out there, which I will get to see very little of, because I have too much to do in here.

TODAY:

OPERATIONS: Massively behind on everything – I don’t know how the hell it’s Friday already – so today is a dead run to get a bunch of things done. Currently walking around with a single earbud in
STATUS: 8hrs 12m sleep, which was a lot less than I needed. Inbox 92 and about to blitz that. The phone is in its gooseneck holder in the office to my right and it’s popping news notifications like nobody’s business – the investment minister is resigning, Elon Musk is being offered a 1 TRILLION pay package by the Tesla board…. and there goes Angela Rayner…
READING: finished OUR DEBTS TO THE PAST by Ed James (UK) (US+) last night and immediately sent Ed a note – it’s one of the best in the run.
LISTENING: Night Tracks

MISSION CONTROL: I can be contacted via the Cheng Caplan Company or Inkwell Management. Link in masthead to join my free newsletter.

BUT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE HAD, Stephen O’Malley

O’Malley of SUNN 0))) in electroacoustic mode. I saw a rather poor review of this and was very confused. I think it’s glorious. Reminded me of Yoshi Wada doing “Earth Horns” until the guitars come in like a martial summoning. It reaches back for something ancient and yet also points towards a new future. It plays well late at night, I’ve found.
