In 2021, during Covid restrictions, the trio of Anne Gillis and XT (Paul Abbott and Seymour Wright) initiated their collaboration by developing new work — remotely — which was 'broadcast' to an in person and online audience at Cafe OTO in London.
The three interdisciplinary artists operate at the boundaries of sound-making/music, plastic arts, performance and learning. They explore the limits and relationships between body, object, prosthesis—and memory, patterns and the material world.
Anne Gillis’ recordings have explored realms of repetition, cut-up techniques, voice manipulation, and concrete bodily sounds sculpted into miniatures that Gillis hoped would turn loudspeakers into stethoscopes. Live, Gillis dedicates her work to curves, volutes, roundnesses, undulations, rolling-ups and rotations through her visceral ritual performances exploring the body and its societal codes.
XT use ‘real and imaginary’ drums and saxophone to create a music that expands several genres into new music and performance practice.
Auguste Vickunaite is Lithuanian sound artist based in Berlin and Vilnius, with a background in physics science, using reel-to-reel tape recorders to play, record and create sound installations, articulating diverse layers of recordings including found material, field recordings, voice, music instruments, objects, and the whole spectrum of malfunctions of decaying technology.
She has performed solo since 2016 and has played in various cities in Europe.
