Shearman is a noise being of (deep) Leytonstone. He carves noise out of objects and ephemera - he kneels at the altar of feedback, lies down in the slowly lapping undulations of seas of static and harsh noise viscera.
Michaela Gerussi is a dance artist and researcher based between London and Tkaronto (CA). She has been collaborating with Erin Hill and Tracy Valcárcel on performance and screen-based projects since 2015.
Their recent collaborative short film YIELD (2024) takes a specific approach to cycles and the legibility of the so-called natural world. It deals with the visual indeterminacy of twilight, considering how we orient ourselves in cycles of time through a granular attention to light and colour.
Max Ball - Preston born London based musician presents his first live set inspired by restless music concrete from the GRM and heavyweight UK Soundsystem music. The set will be constructed using a sample based drum machine, CD-J, mixer and fx’.
Mike is a sound designer for theatre, audio drama, dance, film & exhibitions. He will be presenting a multichannel piece incorporating processed field recordings.
HI! CAPYBARAS is a space-time bending collaborative performance between hackney based producer and sound poet Jo Chill (aka Betty Bottomdollar) and world renowned physicist Leonard Susskind - who is to this day unaware of his ongoing involvement with the project.
Grainy synths warmed by tape, deep meandering melodic structures and the constant rolling of Susskind's lecture provide a bed for Chill's poignant musings on childhood, loss, grief and endless love.
