An evening presenting a series of performances for which Luciano Maggiore and Louie Rice (NOPAON) have paired up with the artist David Stearn, a rare solo appearance by On Yee Lo and Lisbon-based Vasco Alves, who will be presenting his latest work for bagpipes and computer.
My work investigates the materiality of sound and aspects of acoustic phenomena through the use of minimal and unstable processes, which may include synthesis, amplification techniques or the gaita de fole (portuguese bagpipes).
With the bagpipes, the focus lies in exploiting its physical limits, its morphology – in permanent development – and the performaive act.
In 2024 I started the bagpipe group As Rochas da Ajuda, where I think the instrument in a collective context and explore the possibilities of polyphony.
I play terrace bagpipes for Clube de Futebol "Os Belenenses".
Ongoing collaborations include the group OndaXoque, a duo with Margarida Garcia and GAX [with Seymour Wright].
London-based multidisciplinary artist and cook On Yee Lo (b. Hong Kong), creates and constructs ‘Cooking Instruments’- physical systems where common meals are prepared and consumed which encompass gestures, labour and hospitality. Her performances fold together with experiences of working as both cook and musician within the experimental music communities. These systems unravel her research in culinary techniques and open transformative processes across a variety of social settings. She has exhibited and performed her work at Counterflows Festival Glasgow, LUFF - Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival, SCHIRN Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Cafe OTO, Ikon Gallery, ICA London, Camden Art Centre, Bloomberg New Contemporaries and ARTISSIMA Turin.
