Flyer for HYPERBOREALIS

On Saturday, October 9th, we hosted a show at Phase Space called HYPERBOREALIS! There were installations in our basement studio space, and a series of live performances in our outdoor yard/garage. I collaborated on a live performance that combined light art and experimental sound, along with Valeria Divinorum, Jonathan Sims, Max Coker, and Andrei Jay.

TRVLR Collaborative Performance

Flyer for TRVLR

On Tuesday, June 29, I participated in a collaborative multimedia performance with a number of fellow artists, musicians, and dancers. I performed live music in collaboration with three other parallel sound performances, as dancers activated the space around us with kinetic sculptures. Here is the concept from Testu Collective:

Inspired by seeing a performance of Marginal Consort, a Japanese improvisational collective, Testu is gathering a group of sound makers to create unique simultaneous soundtracks with custom-built instruments, sound-making devices and synthesizers. Each sound station centers around a modular sculpture that is activated by two movement artists.

'TRVLR' is about The Travelers, microscopic alien life forms found on meteorites that have journeyed from Deep Space to Earth. The concept focuses on the fictional telling of what their first moments on Earth would be like if we zoomed in; through movement, sculpture and sound.

Performers:

  • Yoko Murakami & Maki Kitahara (movement)
  • Testu Collective - Serena Stucke & Dan Tesene (sound)
  • Alec Fellman & Maria Takeuchi (sound)
  • Gabriel Mester (sound)
  • Paloma Kop (sound)
