I mean, Shame and Guilt, of course.

God damn it. I’m hired to do a job, and I can’t fully show up for it.

Such an old, familiar story.

I’m trying to listen, but I have no clue what this is about.

So I push a little. I witness. I participate. I push a bit more, because I’ve trained myself pretty damn well to do just that.

I swim in that strange place of floating in the unknown, barely holding it together.

And… I make it through.

With Kate’s support and some loving attention from the people involved, it turns out to be okay. The photos were great, and I didn’t completely fuck up the first impression either. 😂

And of course, the story doesn’t end there.

Little did I know that the moment the job was over, I’d receive news that would leave me grieving for months.

So I wonder now.

Maybe my body knew something I hadn’t caught up with yet.

Maybe it was telling me to stop. To listen. To stop pushing for a moment. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was the discomfort of actually reaching for a dream. Maybe I just needed more water and electrolytes.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Lot of maybes.

Maybe, baby.

Actually, I don’t know.
Have no fucking clue.

I’m trying to listen.

Anyway. I’m glad I was there. ❤️

Btw it’s Sunday.
And I’m really tired today.

‘Jacob’s Beanbag’ was born in West Wales last year. We love the spacey parallel harmony that makes us feel like we’re floating.

We love the sun on our face even when it’s cold.

What if?
Is the ultimate questions. What could we create?

Looking forward to dreaming up worlds with you on our European Tour in November.

Somewhere in the countryside in Bologna, Italy, we heard some dogs having a right ol’ laugh and thought, oh hey let us sing with you dear souls.

It started off with them as one of the voices and they got more and more dense and singy through the piece to the point of us being the listeners and them devising the composition without us silly humans.

TRACCE NEL PRESENTE | Site-Specific Performance

Bentivoglio, Italy - 4 September 2026.

An excerpt from the closing performance of the public sharing of Tracce nel Presente, an international artistic research residency exploring the relationship between voice, movement, collective improvisation, and territory.

This site-specific improvisation emerged from the encounters and experiences of the preceding days: the landscapes explored, the stories shared, and the relationship established with the people and cultural memory of Bentivoglio.

Following a film screening and a live performance by the Coro delle Mondine di Bentivoglio, the improvisers brought these experiences into a collective improvised performance, allowing the present moment to be shaped by the voices, histories, and relationships encountered along the way.

Improvisers:
Giulia Matteucci 🇮🇹 · Chiara Cortez 🇵🇭🇮🇹 · Jaka Škapin 🇸🇮🇬🇧 · Daphne Nisi 🇮🇹 · Emma Coleman 🇬🇧 · Erwan Noblet 🇫🇷🇨🇦 · Guillermo Rozenthuler 🇦🇷🇬🇧 · Jeffrey Noordijk 🇳🇱 · Kate Mellors 🇬🇧 · Kate Smith 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇵🇹 · Katrin Sauter 🇨🇭 · Philip Eick 🇩🇪🇩🇰 · Phoebe Osborne 🇬🇧 · Tim Achthoven 🇳🇱 · Valentina Levchenko 🇺🇦

We are Oöm

- a dynamic vocal quartet of artists and performance makers from across the UK and Europe: Kate Mellors, Kate Smith, Emma Coleman, and Phoebe Martha.

Our music draws upon a deep passion for vocal improvisation and musical mastery, blending complex rhythms and rich harmonies with a penchant for provocative, irreverent playfulness and soulful storytelling - where the tender meets the ridiculous. This unique blend of vocal mastery and down-to-earth tomfoolery takes audiences on a captivating journey.

And now we are coming to a city near you. Possibly. Maybe. Probably not… but for a lucky few - anyone in or near Lyon, Paris, Brussels, Utrecht or London - that means you can come to see our new show, WELCOME TO THE PARTY!

Links to tickets are in the bio. See you there :)
