Joris Beets
As experimental improv multi-instrumentalist and inventor, Joris is always looking to find that magical, timeless place where we reach a state of flow with others and rediscover the new and boundless. In this performance, among other things, he will play one of his main inventions – the Delta Harp.

INSTALLATIONS:
Jonathan Ansell: Air Guitar
Jonathan Ansell is an electronic artist working with audio, light projections, analogue and digital electronics. He will be bringing his installation ‘Air Guitar’, which uses small mirrors attached to a grid of guitar strings to project lasers onto a 3D screen. They create lissajous figures that illustrate the harmonic relationships between microtonally tuned drones.
Tom Fox and Nick Murray: The Beating Birch
Welcome one and all to The Beating Birch. At once a city and a guardian spirit, The Beating Birch is home to a whole host of wanderers, storytellers and mystics. The populace of the city channel and commune with the spirits of the tree through sonic mimicry and data extrapolations. This installation is one, small part, of the district responsible for recording the life of the tree through sound mapping and sonic folktelling. It uses data live-streamed from twitter to generate melodies and violin callings. The melodies are based on the User ID of the person who sent the tweet.
Tom Fox (aka Vulpestruments) is a sound artist focussing on, experimental instrument design, sonification of data and interactive installation design.
Nick Murray is a writer, composer and producer based in London.
