Floating World Pictures, Kayla Painter

Floating World Pictures is a 'Loud Ambient' project led by Chestnutt, producer & member of Snapped Ankles, and graphic/sound artist & instrument builder Raimund Wong.

Mystical, new age, ambient soundscapes born of psychic improvisation and excursions into worlds lost in mist, intertwine seamlessly with fragments of found dialogue, melodies and environmental sounds, cassette tape loop manipulations, live dub/effects and analogue synthesis.

Bristol based musician, producer and visual artist Kayla Painter has spent the last few years carving a solid reputation herself around Bristol and the South West with her distinctive, layered soundscapes and compositions.

Heavily influenced by Bristol’s legendary bass heritage, Kayla’s sound has often said to been compared to that of Burial, Nicholas Jaar, Mount Kimbie and Four Tet, while her hypnotising and unique live AV shows combine her pulsing basslines and delicate sample and textures over her own bespoke visuals.
