Four international artists present an eclectic evening of acoustic and electronic music and art songs. A key member of the Israeli art and music scene Maya Dunietz and electronic musician Grundik Kasyasky will be premiering a duet for piano/voice and feedback synthesizer, an adventurous post-genre electroacoustic music, simultaneously wild and gentle. Acclaimed Welsh violinist Angharad Davies will be playing a solo set, a mesmerizing exercise in extreme concentration and superpower technique. Sasha Elina will be singing a few art songs; her voice is a thing of rare and fragile beauty. A very special event that shouldn’t be missed!

Grundik Kasyansky
GRUNDIK KASYANSKY is an electronic musician and sound artist, based in London. He works with sound synthesis and feedback, exploring self-oscillation, mutation and modulation. Since 2006 he’s been developing a customised setup – a feedback/analogue synthesis system. Using this setup, he constructs adaptive, interactive environments that he can engage with and learn from durationally. A dialogue plays important role in Grundik’s practice. He collaborates with musicians, dancers, fine artists and filmmakers around the world across different media. His recent projects include free jazz/techno duo теплота, krautfolk collective Staraya Derevnya and audio-visual group Llull Machines.
