Penelope Trappes

<br> <b>In the artist’s words:</b><br> <b>Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.</b> I fell in love with Freddie Mercury at the age of 7 after watching the video for Crazy Little Thing Called Love. His attitude was so liberating to me as a child and showed me the possibility of self-empowerment and expression with music.<br> <b>What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?</b> Alice Coltrane, <i>Journey in Satchidananda</i> Björk, <i>Homogenic</i> Kate Bush, <i>Hounds of Love (2018 Remaster)</i> I have adored these albums from when I was little, and still love them just as much today. They are all so very original and experimental - and inspired me to make my own music.<br> <b>Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song.</b> “Sleep” Sleep is about summoning the strength to say goodbye to loved ones, acknowledging impending grief - whilst also ridding ourselves of the cycles of abuse stemming from patriarchal powers.<br> <b>What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?</b> Collaborating on a reinterpretation of Penelope Three with the London Contemporary Orchestra at Southbank Centre in London. We had only one day to rehearse, but we quickly became a special team creating a n extraordinary live communal meditation. <br> <b>Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?</b> I would adore working on a film score with some of my favourite directors like Jane Campion, Yorgos Lanthimos, Luna Carmoon, Joanna Hogg, Peter Strickland, Greta Gerwig, Ben Wheatley, Carol Morley, Mark Jenkins, Sally Potter & Andrea Arnold. <br>
