William J. Stokes is a British artist and producer. As a member of the avant-pop trio Voka Gentle (“hard to classify and even harder not to love” -Uncut) he has made two critically acclaimed albums and has collaborated with Wayne Coyne, Panda Bear, Sonic Boom and more. Weaving a dialogue between the guitar and modular synthesiser, Stokes’ compositions and soundscapes are suspended between noise, ambience, melody, drone and rhythm. Drawing from a palette of electronic sounds, samples, vocals and electric guitar, Stokes' music fuses compositional structure with spontaneous passages to create unique performances. Joined by celebrated sound designer David Sheppard (whose own list of collaborations includes the likes of Björk and The National’s Bryce and Aaron Dessner), as well as other special guests, Stokes presents an immersive sonic experience not to be missed.
