WASTELAND FESTIVAL 2023 〜 Interview with Cardboard Lamb aka. Cara
Mayer
Cara Mayer is Cardboard Lamb. As a DJ, she cares about narrative
radio – mixing ambient, experimental electronics, and various
iterations of wave and folk with film clips, field recordings, and
poetry along a chosen theme. She is a resident at Mutant Radio in
Tbilisi with a bi-monthly show exploring Italo Calvino’s Invisible
Cities, as well as a student studying the sonics, poetics, and
politics of spaces at Sandberg’s Studio for Immediate Spaces.
Outside of DJing, Cara is a music programmer at Radio Tempo Não
Pàra, and has worked as a writer, host, and radio-maker for Pinkman
Records, Operator, and Future Intel. Sounds like / Recommended for
fans of Birds, sad DJs with a sense of humor, those who’d prefer the
dance floor to be a trembling pumpkin patch with a fog machine,
discordant folk lovingly dug up by a variety of ageing Belgian men,
Jack Rollo’s Early Bird Show, electro-punk from Düsseldorf, your
upstairs neighbour who practices the saxophone each night at eight,
on the dot.
Radio Echo was broadcasting live from
Wasteland Festival 2023
in Den Haag.
