Mosquito Farm began in 2022, an artists band and collaboration between Maddie Banwell and Grace Black. Their performances include many handmade instruments - mechanical, electronic and acoustic, alongside props and devices to play them with. Some forms are unrecognizable as instruments, while some resemble more conventional strings, drums or machines. These create sequences of drone and percussion, switching between microtonal harmonies and more chaotic layered rhythms with harsher sounds. Their performance is as much object theatre as music - their physical presence is choreographed around parameters to construct or collapse their set up, veering between intensity and awkwardness.

So far, Mosquito Farm is mostly experienced live, however they have 2 tracks on SELN’s compilation ‘The Last Londoner’ from 2023, and a track on The Wire Magazine’s ‘Below the Radar’ compilation in November 2024. They are currently working towards a solo release with SELN later this year.
