Barbie Mukoda

Barbie Mukoda is a London-based Flautist. Her experiments with silence and tone, has led to the artistic choice on using little to no vibrato across her three instruments; Piccolo Flute, Classical Flute and Alto Flute, whilst she explores the Improvisational realms.

Over the recent years, Barbie has played with BBC Elstree Concert Band, Lo-Fi, The London Video Game Orchestra, ONe_Orchestra New and Queen Charlotte’s Global Orchestra, recording at Abbey Road Studios and BBC Maida Vale Studios and being broadcast live over Resonance FM as a member of AMM All-Stars.

Today, Barbie's World consists of intentional music making; whether that be solo, trio, wind band, orchestral or other, she indulges in the Classical, Improvisational and Experimental, Video Game Music and Show Tunes. She finds the variety of genres and musicians she plays with, as well as the artists whose Sound-Worlds she experiences as an audience member both stimulating and inspiring for her own World Building endeavours.

Momoko Gill

Momoko Gill is a London-based composer, producer, drummer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist whose work moves fluidly between jazz, soul, electronic production, and experimental ambient textures. Raised in Japan in a family of musicians and music lovers, Gill took up drums and percussion to make herself heard amidst a pianist uncle, a guitarist brother, and a singer mother , before relocating to London where she studied anthropology and became embedded in the city’s vital experimental music community.

A self-taught drummer, producer, songwriter, and vocalist, she has brought her unique touch to collaborations with Matthew Herbert, Coby Sey, Tirzah, and Nadeem Din-Gabisi. Years of extensive touring as a drummer, keyboardist, and vocalist have honed her distinctive compositional and production instincts.

In 2025, Momoko stepped fully into the spotlight with two major new projects: her debut solo album Momoko (2026 via Strut Records) and a collaborative album Clay with electronic-music pioneer Matthew Herbert. Clay, released in June 2025, showcased a soulful, elastic collaboration that treads nimbly between the dancefloor and the more introspective moods of the early hours, drawing on found sources from Japanese kotos to basketballs creating an unmistakably organic feel.

Her self-titled debut Momoko, recorded at Total Refreshment Centre and mixed by Matthew Herbert, presents an artistic statement shaped by instinct rather than tradition. The album features contributions from her long-time collaborators and showcases her restrained vocals alongside inventive rhythmic complexity and jazz-leaning electronic production—including standout tracks like “When Palestine Is Free” and “Heavy”.
