Victoria Performance
Saturday, August 15 | Doors 7:00 PM
Haus of Owl, 780 Blanshard St 4th Floor
Tickets: $20- $30 sliding scale
Margins of Sound Society is proud to launch the MOSS Artist Residency Series with Calgary-based electroacoustic duo NUM
Formed in northern Iran by Milad Bagheri and Maryam Sirvan, and now based in Calgary, NUM creates immersive electroacoustic performances that blend processed voice, field recordings, intricate rhythms, and generative electronics into richly layered sonic environments. Their work explores the creative tension between human expression and machine processes, resulting in performances that are both deeply atmospheric and technically innovative.
Their latest performance, Voices, Machines, and the Catastrophe, responds to the accelerating rhythms and uncertainties of contemporary life through a dynamic live system built in Ableton Live and Max/MSP. Human voice, improvisation, and custom real-time audio processes merge into an evolving sonic landscape where composition and spontaneity continuously reshape one another.
The Victoria performance features an opening set by musician and producer, Piu, whose practice draws from the expressive traditions of Indian raga while embracing contemporary electronic sound. Blending vocals and experimental electronics, Piu’s work explores the space where ancient musical traditions meet modern sonic exploration, making her an ideal complement to NUM’s immersive electroacoustic performance.
