Tara Cunningham is a guitarist and composer from the UK whose work focuses largely on improvisation.
Warm Ground is Tara’s first vinyl release, released on super limited black vinyl LP (300 only worldwide- Non-Returnable).
Tara is one half of the duo The Sleeves alongside guitarist Jack Cooper from post-rock band Modern Nature. Their debut album has been well-acclaimed and they are currently touring throughout the EU and US.
Her previous album Almost – Not Exactly was a collaboration with close friend and visual artist Jemima Seymour, which was released in 2025 on the label Non-Classical.
Tara’s other current live projects include: Laura Jurd, Red Snapper, Claire Rousey, Liam Noble and Seb Rochford and Tom Skinner.
Tara Cunningham’s guitar glitch miniatures draw patterns in negative space on new mini-album Warm Ground. Operating predominantly within improvisational and experimental music, guitarist Tara Cunningham has developed a discrete sonic language that reveals the full textural and timbral range of her instrument. Marking a new chapter for Cunningham that builds on her solo debut, Almost – Not Exactly, released on Non Classical in 2025, Warm Ground unfolds across seven compelling instrumental dialogues - each a conversation of rhythms and found sounds, syncopated and juxtaposed, open to encounter.
Implied by the title of first single ‘Following a Thought’, Cunningham weaves an exploratory melody into the spaces between field recordings. At once introspective and highly relational, each track ushers the listener into a world of different scales, seeking beauty and meaning in the everyday, from the discrete mechanisms of ‘Fridgelight’ to the delicately unhinged organism of ‘Flying Ant Day’.
Cunningham finds a natural home on Odda’s roster of artists sensitive to the details of their materials and surroundings, finding kinship alongside the intimate songcraft of Kirk Barley and Fohn in the gaps between composition and improvisation.
