about

El Hardwick is a London based musician and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores relationships between bodies and their surrounding environments, queer worldmaking practices, and how we can heal on a damaged planet. They recently released their debut album ‘8’ via 33-33 (Ryuichi Sakamoto, MarkFell, Keiji Haino), which envisions a sci-fi narrative at the intersection of climate crisis and digital justice. 8 is El Hardwick’s first release under their own name, following their previous work under the moniker Moonbow.

El now returns with new single ‘Body Memory’ - featuring highly acclaimed experimental cellist Mabe Fratti due out via Desire Lines (a multidisciplinary entity, created by El, that centers around queer community healing at the intersection of music, art and ecology). Both Mabe and El first began to collaborate in 2020, when El asked Mabe to contribute to Desire Lines Vol. 1 alongside the likes of Nailah Hunter, Arushi Jain, Dolphin Midwives, YaYa Bones and Kìzis.

New single ‘Body Memory’ is an enchanting sonic deep dive into the conflicting feelings experienced after a break up, embracing the glimmers of hope that shine through the darkness, when healing starts to appear. El explains that the single “looks at creating new memories over old painful ones, and particularly how that relates to my experience of body memory and dysphoria as a trans non-binary person.” The track sees El’s voice at the forefront of glistening instrumentation that steadily builds from minimalism into a synthscape of carefully balanced contemporary and classical sounds.
