Gadi Sassoon and Suren Seneviratne
Combining cutting edge multichannel sound synthesis from Gadi Sassoon (A Strangely Isolated Place) with rare and vintage music software for Mac from Suren Seneviratne (MyPandaShallFly, One Instrument Records), this performance will be a retrofuturist dream, breaking sonic boundaries.

Sarah Angliss
Works in progress: New experiments from Sarah Angliss – a composer mixing robotics with 14th-century instruments, theremin, extraordinary electronic effects and more. Sarah’s highly unusual music draws on her lifelong interest in European folksong, cybernetics and ancient sound culture. In demand as a live performer, Sarah plays internationally and composes for theatre and film. Her score for Romola Garai’s horror Amulet premiered at Sundance 2020. Her theatre work includes music and sound design for the first official stage production of The Twilight Zone and a terse, industrial score for Eugene O’Neill’s expressionist play The Hairy Ape – at The Old Vic, London, and Park Avenue Armory, New York. In 2021, Sarah received an Ivor Novello Award (Visionary Award) for her body of work.

Plink Plunk
Springs, bolts, spokes, strings, nuts, carbon, steel. You name it and plinkplunk can turn it into an extraordinary instrument. They’ll be performing live and there’ll be a chance to have a go on all their instruments and even buy one to take home if you fall in love!

Jen Kirby
Performing movement-based live electronics, Jenn Kirby is a composer and performer whose music has been described as “anthemic” and “intoxicatingly strange”, creating ”… fading neon soundworlds that are being sucked back into the wormhole from where they descended”. Pure bliss.

Rich Grant
Run off: Inspired by “Sgt. Pepper’s” inner groove, an analogue of the loop, the beat and revolution. A beautiful rolling sculpture to play, for song, to sing. The mystery at the heart of every record, those few moments understood only by the eternal, transient and truly alive. Playing a syncopated rhythm, infinite and ever changing. A visual treat and sonic delight.
