Displacements

Artists Annie Aries, Brian House, and Marcel Zaes revisit the experimental beats that they made as a part of their collaborative installation, Metric Displacement.

Displacements

Join us on April 2nd at 7PM PST for an evening of synchronized performances from 3 unique and separate locations across the globe.

For ‘Displacements,’ sound artists and electronic musicians Annie Aries, Brian House and Marcel Zaes revisit the experimental beats that they made as a part of their collaborative installation, Metric Displacement. With an assemblage of analog synthesizers, open source software, and resampled vinyl loops, they retake these same beats and textures, but this time to unfold them in a set that oscillates between saturated rhythmic textures and driving beats.
A special, one-time-only, rebroadcast of the event will take place at 10AM PST on April 3rd.

    Composer & Musician

    In the world of modular synthesizers and patch cords, Annie explores, performs and composes music and opens up sonic spaces between electronica and experimental sounds. In her works, she creates minimalistic sound textures and recurring rhythmic patterns that organically interweave, distance and disappear.

    Marcel Zaes

    Artist & Researcher

    Marcel investigates mechanical time with an interdisciplinary framework and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Music & Multimedia Composition at Brown University. His creative practice consists of assemblages of self-made software code that act as mechanical timekeepers and human performers who they play “against,” thereby creating an affective potential to re-think the gap between what is conceived of as “human” versus “mechanical” temporality.
