Sarah Angliss
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.

Kogg
KOGG is an experimental electronic music duo which is a fusion of the musical influences of Selena Kay and Cerys Hogg. KOGG’s approach incorporates composed, generative and improvised elements with a sonic palette derived from real and homemade instruments, field recordings, and manipulated vocals. In 2022 they were commissioned to create a new work for the Aldeburgh Festival which they performed with the Ligeti Quartet and in January 2023 they were runners up in Nonclassical Battle of the Bands. They have an EP available on Bandcamp, and will be releasing an album later this year.

Mode Collapse
Pain and pleasure are the different sides of the same coin. Arm-wrestling sensations that crush our mind towards the primal. As said by Marvin Minsky “Too much suffering diminishes us by restricting the complexities that constitute our very selves. It must be the same for pleasure as well.” Artificial brains seem to suffer from similar problems. They can lock into repeating themselves in order to sustain the presence of a reward signal. If we build machines in our likeness, how can we learn to think differently? We present an electronic live set featuring visuals and the Bessel’s Axe, an AI-augmented electric guitar that controls pure synthetic sounds using FM synthesis. Mode Collapse is Franco Caspe and Xiaowan Yi.

They have a special interest in matters of access, dialogic design, sound art and practice-based research into musical interaction. Eevee is the creator of NEP7UNO, a percussion instrument based on FM synthesis. With it, you can explore different ways of modulation in a tactile way. It runs on Bela and features seven custom Trill bar sensors and piezos.
