A rare opportunity to experience The Inner Ear live in London!
Smeared across the surface of the SE1 landscape, Sound Slick is a live listening event featuring musicians and improvised programmed sounds diffused in Ambisonics.
The Inner Ear are based at ‘The Tank’, a unique old oil tank-venue in northern Sweden (Svanö), which uniqueness stands in its 24-second reverb. This piece draws heavily on a recording session made at The Tank in summer 2022 by the Inner Ear in collaboration with Isa Ferri, during an intense 5 days sessions.
All the programmed electronics uses samples from The Tank and the inspiration for the piece is drawn from the archaic landscape sprawling south of the river in what is now known as SE1. Expect live and improvised vocals, throat singing, instrumentation, electronics, surround sound submergence and performance.
Performers:
Lee Berwick – samples, effects, electronics
Bjornola Lind – vocals, horns (Ludge and G’daki), percussion
Mikael Oberg – percussion, voice, raking
David Aylward – drums, percussion, whistles
Isa Barzizza – sound manipulation and spatialisation

Lee Berwick
Ephemeral, shapeless, but with structure,
filling space, weighing nothing,
never doing what I expect,
Intriguing, you’re always leading,
in the moment, gone.
but you were there,
sound, vibration, energy.
Currently Lee is interested in space, energy and the physicality of sound. His work endlessly pushes boundaries and has been shown in London’s Hayward Gallery, The ICA and Tate modern as well as at many other venues around the world. He has had a program about his work made by the BBC and has spoken at the RA in London.
Recent UK installations have taken place at the Greenwich Foot tunnel (the Space Below), Shoeburyness (SILT Performance with the Arbonauts), Northern Orient arts festival in north Sweden and Night Sight in a cave vetwork in the Forest of Dean.
Lee is also part of the ‘Inner Ear’ performance/sound art collective who as well as touring their site specific performances to a range of venues are the organising body running ‘The Tank’ an old oil storage vessel in northern Sweden which has a 24-second reverb and is used as an arts venue. For many years Lee ran the Digidub record label and toured/performed and remixed using that name.

Björn Ola Lind
There is always an interest for transformation in the artwork of Björn Ola Lind, an eye for charged liminal spaces. Since he finished University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm 1990 he has worked close with different indigenous cultures and their animistic worldview and mythology. The border between the visible and the invisible world has more and more dissolved during this process. Transformative states between site and body/spirit, and transformations in-between life and death is recurring theme in his work. His artistic expressions moves in the gaps between sound and images. The result is site based rituals whether it is photo, film, sculptures or performance as expressions. Often he collaborates with other artists, dancers, muscisians in site specific art. Since 15 years back, he works in the performance group ”The Inner Ear ” in a disused oil tank with 24 seconds of delay based in northern Sweden. And he is also working with films based on Saami mythology for Swedish telivision.
