Hestor Dart: meet(me)

OVER / AT is pleased to present Hestor Dart's solo E.P., meet(me). Dart's practice explores trans possibilities within traditional song, as well as exploring the boundaries of the voice through experimental music. meet(me) is a series of one person duets, exploring solitude, internalised longing and the interrelation or cracks between musical genres. 

OVER / AT will host Hestor for a double-header album launch with Phoenix Rousiamanis at the Old Hairdressers, Glasgow, and a performance at Kirkton Hall in Lochalsh.

Check out the E.P. and pre-order here: https://over-at.bandcamp.com/album/meet-me

About Hestor Dart

Hestor Dart (they/them) is a singer, musician and maker with an interest in expansive and ugly sound, traditional crafts and collaborative practice. Some current obsessions include weaving songs, trash music and the tale of True Thomas.

They are one half of the duo loomeweight,with Patricia Auchterlonie. Hestor is a founding member of The Ruffians, a new music collective with a taste for the experimental and the absurd. They are also a member of Vox Urbane, a vocal ensemble led by Helen Meyerhoff and Dan Ludford-Thomas, which launched in April 2023.

Hestor graduated with an MMus distinction from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2023, where they were the recipient of the Linda Hirst Award for excellence in contemporary music. They are one of six participants in the inaugural 2023-24 VOICEBOX programme, delivered by Juliet Fraser in partnership with Britten Pears Arts; City, University of London; Sound Festival and Hawkwood Centre for Future Learning.
