PRESS FORWARD #59 BY LUCY HARDCASTLE
Every month, the Forward Magazine brings you a selection of musical gems hand-picked by friends, musicians, speakers of the Forward Festival, and many more. This 59th edition was made by the digital artist Lucy Hardcastle. Lucy will speak at Forward Festival Berlin in August.
Lucy Hardcastle is an interdisciplinary designer and digital artist known for her innovative approach to sensory storytelling. Her work explores the intersection of physical and digital worlds, creating immersive experiences through visual illusions, sculpture, and moving image. Collaborating with renowned brands and cultural institutions, she crafts evocative narratives that challenge perceptions and redefine digital art.
This 25-track playlist runs over 2 hours, starting with minimal techno, electronic, and shoegaze – perfect for brainstorming with hypnotic, drone-like sounds. The tempo gradually builds into euphoric, high-energy beats for those ‘lightbulb moments’ in storyboarding or visual research.
Winding down towards the end, the vibe shifts to DIY, psychedelic, and ambient sounds – ideal for reflection or a fresh perspective. Tune in and enjoy!
