Blanc Sceol (Stephen Shiell & Hannah White) will be performing their piece ‘Kinetic Resonance’ with an instrument design called the Orbit. They collaborated with local luthier Kai Tönjes to create a ten-sided instrument played by two musicians. The body is spun by one performer while the other holds a bow to ten rotating strings. As the two musicians work together the Orbit leads them into a trance of pitch-shifting drones and ethereal harmonics. Blanc Sceol are an artist duo who work in the expanded field of listening, sound, and performance.
The opening set features the violinist and producer Agathe Max.
‘With an elegant command of melody and a strident use of rhythm, Max … bridges the gaps between minimalism, post-classicism, the avant garde, krautrock, and plain old-fashioned pop’ (Boomkat)
