Presented in partnership with The Oram Awards, we feature afromerm & abi asisa performing 1966 interrupted, described as a transtemporal, collage-like sonic dialogue with Daphne Oram.
Working with two surviving waveform slides from Oram’s Oramics machine, afromerm (voice, electronics) and abi asisa (electric cello) interpret the slides as a graphic score, manipulating and obscuring the cello's timbre in real time. The performance blends live processing, improvisation, and interruption, creating a dynamic interplay of texture, memory, and transformation. Plus, adventurous new work from BEAST composers, diving into new sonic terrain and expanding the possibilities of spatial audio.
