Boundary Condition is a durational sonic immersion for the rabidly sentimental: investigating the parallelization between dark-jazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric practices trickling from the persistence and antagonistic fragmentation of certain memories. BC launches a festival-esque edition featuring 15+ artists – featuring Kink Gong (Discrepant), Il Santo Bevitore album launch (Opal Tapes), Gyorgy Ono (Experiment Intrinsic – Creatures LND) and radiophonics composer Howlround. In a hybrid of multichannel live-sets, TV installations and immersive projections spread over two stages, this episode includes anthropological sonic studies from south-east Asia, Shibari bondage sonification, generative & participatory performances, CV-controlled turntables, heavy tape machinery and percussive electronics performed in the AMOENUS sound system.

Kink Gong
Under the name KINK GONG you find two activities, the first one is to record ethnic minority music mostly in south-east Asia, the second is to transform, collage, recompose the original recordings into experimental soundscapes. Since 1999, over many trips to Southeast Asia, KINK GONG has documented the local music traditions of ethnic minorities whose cultures are threatened by modernisation. He collects and compiles these unedited recordings into an ever-growing audiovisual archive. With extensive releases depicting vivid sonic landscapes, he uses these recordings, which focus mostly on vocal and percussion music, as the starting point for his emotionally-charged electronic experiments. Excerpts of this archival work are published on the labels Discrepant, Sublime Frequencies and his own label.

Howlround
Howlround is a quintet (four slightly battered machines machines, one slightly battered operator in the shape of sound artist Robin The Fog) that create recordings and performances entirely from manipulating natural acoustic sounds on vintage reel-to-reel tape machines, with all additional effects or artificial reverb strictly forbidden. Howlround’s live events are always a spectacle in which haunting and uncanny soundscapes are created – part sound design, part chaotic performance art. Their records have been compared to William Basinski (who I toured with in 2015), Burial and Selected Ambient Works-era Aphex Twin. Robin produces sound designs for several BBC Radio 4 dramas, broadcast packages for Radio 4 and BBC World Service, as well as contributions to Radio 3’s Between The Ears, ABC Australia, NTS, and many more.

Gyorgy Ono
Gyorgy Ono is a Georgian artist whose work explores fragmentation through a spice of occult exotica from spoken word, hissy cassette experiments, and slithery snake rhythms amongst blissfully delinquent ambiances of borrowed sounds. A timelessness arises from this sonic archaeology, whether in his audiovisual Netil radio ‘Icarus Blue’ residency, curation of the diverse and genre-spanning Creatures rave, or all the rogue frequencies he traces from thin air

Her work is concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through phonetic entropy and augmented instrumentation.

Infinite Monkeys
Infinite Monkeys Theorem states that monkeys with projectors, synthesizers and an infinite amount of time could produce an AV version of “Selected Music From Washing Machines 85-92“. This theorem was tried in real life, but only for a month. The seven monkeys involved produced 9 minutes of cow sounds, slammed projectors and synthesizers with a stone and ate 21kg of bananas. Infinite Monkeys will try the theorem again live at IKLECTIK. The Monkeys performing on the show will be available for adoption, please adopt a Monkey, and bring one to your home after the show.

Tom Richards
Tom Richards is an artist and instrument designer walking the line between sonic art, sculpture and music. Richards researched the work of Daphne Oram, culminating in a functional build of Mini Oramics, which she conceptualised over 40 years ago but never realised during her lifetime: a machine that can translate drawings into sound and compositions. Richards’ own output often features textured, evolving, polyrhythmic improvisations. He has performed and shown works throughout the UK – including CTM, Tate Britain and the Queen Elizabeth Hall – in the USA, Germany, Peru, Japan, and Sweden.

The project is based on unpublished writings that narrate the story of a prophet living in the Four realms of the Earth, floating between homeric myths, memoirs and dreamscapes. The Seer was nominated by Red Bull Academy as one of the “7 women audiovisual artists pushing boundaries and challenging perceptions.” The Seer was also named by The Quietus as part of the “New Weird Britannia” music phenomenon.

Sin Of The Father
Sin Of The Father is London based Dj and graphic designer. Exploring elements of brutality and beauty through art and sound to create a rich contrast of visceral emotions. Firstly a visual artist, working within mediums of collage work and digital manipulation, his approach to DJing is much in the same vein, exploring depths of power electronics, noise, ambience and sampling various characters of religious rhetoric go create a narrative which represents the project in all facets.
