Fleeting epiphanies, reflective appliances

Join Verity Sharp as she takes a spin around the world of experimental listening, from the bellows of church organs to the existential questioning of a virtual assistant.

Verity Sharp presents our latest spin around the world of experimental music, providing a plethora of sounds to bend the ears. We bear witness to the deft and monumental organ playing of Jérôme Bouve & Delphine Dora in a new piece aptly titled ‘Le Vast’; and Owen Duff’s ‘The Meaning of Alexa’ is a duet performed with a virtual assistant in which the human in the room probes the technology’s code for answers to a variety of heartfelt and existential quandaries. Plus: Lucy Liyou returns with ‘MR COBRA’, a new project in which she poses the question, “Why not make death wait its turn?” Fusing theater, Korean folk-opera, free-jazz and musique-concrète, the results are a wild, scattered and heady brew.
