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.
