    Zara Joan Miller + Augustė Vickunaitė, Billy Steiger, Ellis Berwick

    Zara Joan Miller is an artist working across poetry, performance and film. Her work seeks to unravel boundaries between human and non-human nature, often playing with movement and sound as a way of reimagining a body’s rhythm. Zara is the author of poetry collection BLUE MONDAY (JOAN Publishing, 2022), which was also released as a duo LP with cellist Ute Kanngießer (Reading Group 2023). Her work has been presented at Barbican Centre, Frieze No 9 Cork St., Muse Gallery, Horse Hospital, Cafe OTO, In Vitro, Default Den Haag.

    Augustė Vickunaitė is a sound experimentalist who exclusively employs vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders to play, record, and create sounds, articulating diverse layers of recordings including found material, field recordings, voice, music instruments, objects, and the whole spectrum of malfunctions of decaying technology. Auguste specializes in tape, noise, and collage music. Her music is often dark and funny.

    Ellis Berwick is a London based, Brixton born artist making sculptures, sounds, things that move, and sculptures which make sounds by moving. Looking at the contexts of sound and movement through the experiential, mythological and historical. His work is rough and delicate, industrial and organic, and always noisy.

    Billy Steiger was born in Howth on the 16th December, 1986. Now he plays the violin.

    “Then he sat down by a pond and began to play a tune. As he played, the most extraordinary thing happened. One by one the fish in the pond began to jump out and fly about in the air. And what is more, they were all different colours and they were singing to the music.” Patrick, Quentin Blake.

  • Sakura Sound – An evening with Baddest Squid & Friends

    Sakura Sound – An evening with Baddest Squid & Friends

    Baddest Squid was forged in the dawn sessions of Stockwell Skate Park aka Brixton Beach. The project is comprised of F£RG MON£Y (Perimeter Jam) on modular synthesis, Chris Lartey on MPC beat making, and Levin Pfeufer on wind instruments, sub-bass and live mixing and dubbing.

    The evening will evolve slowly over a two hour period. Within this longer time scale the audience will be encouraged to come and go as people feel. There will be opportunities to engage with the sonic space in a variety of ways. Attendees will be free to sit quietly or circulate, move and dance during the performance.

    Baddest Squid and friends celebrate diverse narratives of sonic, physical and visual storytelling. These will take performative form from a pallet including modular synthesis, MPC beat making, dubbing of wind and percussion instruments played real time, spoken word, movement and projected video art.
