The artists:
R. Rebeiro is an experimental musician whose work explores the boundaries of percussion and the potential of music as language. Typified by its highly dynamic and powerfully cathartic expressions of sound, Rebeiro’s work is rooted in deep listening, both to instrument and space, and highly reminiscent of the solemnity and purification of historical ceremony and ritual.

Ov Pain.
Comprised of partners Renee Barrance (Élan Vital) and Tim Player (Opposite Sex), Ov Pain make delicate brutalism. They are interested in amplitude, overtones and duration.
