Two leading international electronic experimentalists share an aurally adventurous evening of light and shadow that dips deep into drone, ambient, distortion and beyond. The evening begins in near darkness with Hecker’s physical and emotive exploration of dissonance and melody which The New York Times has described as “foreboding, abstract pieces in which static and sub-bass rumbles open up around slow moving notes and chords, like fissures in the earth waiting to swallow them whole.”
A special collaboration closes the night: Known for his lush and layered pieces formed by sound swatches and electronic washes punctuated with field recordings and sampled loops, Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) joins forces with artist Nate Boyce and his hallucinatory computer-generated films for an ear-opening and eye-opening investigation into sound and vision. Lopatin’s music reveals “new sonic possibilities and, more importantly, forces us to reconsider and rewire some of our most basic assumptions” (Wired).
