Fleeting epiphanies, reflective appliances
Join Verity Sharp as she takes a spin around the world of experimental listening, from the bellows of church organs to the existential questioning of a virtual assistant.
Verity Sharp presents our latest spin around the world of experimental music, providing a plethora of sounds to bend the ears. We bear witness to the deft and monumental organ playing of J茅r么me Bouve & Delphine Dora in a new piece aptly titled 鈥楲e Vast鈥�; and Owen Duff鈥檚 鈥楾he Meaning of Alexa鈥� is a duet performed with a virtual assistant in which the human in the room probes the technology鈥檚 code for answers to a variety of heartfelt and existential quandaries. Plus: Lucy Liyou returns with 鈥楳R COBRA鈥�, a new project in which she poses the question, 鈥淲hy not make death wait its turn?鈥� Fusing theater, Korean folk-opera, free-jazz and musique-concr猫te, the results are a wild, scattered and heady brew.
