Gilbert Sinnott / Autr / Tihomir Zdjelarević - Terraforms II
Terraforms II is the second audio-visual performance of the Terraforms project, which through video synthesis, signal recursion and photography layered and reprocessed many times to imagine communiques of far away terraforming projects; colourful abstractions of gestalt space and landscape describing the form and pattern of distant planetary sculpture; untethered to resource scarcity, and free to craft new worlds.

Gilbert Sinnott is a visual artist and video hacker working with modified and repurposed video equipment, hybrid analogue and digital image making and improvisation, signal recursion and creative coding. He has performed live video for Venetian Snares, Planet Mu records and Icasea artists, and recently exhibited “Terraforms” as Autr. Tihomir Zdjelarević is an instrumentalist and sound artist. geeeeb.com / autr.tv / vimeo.com/autr

Jordan Edge / Joseph Higgins / Joshua Legallienne / Guoda Dirtzye - A Thing Heard: Four Ways of Listening"
A Thing Heard: Four Ways of Listening is an event showcasing the work of four contemporary British artists working in the field of sound art. The artists have curated a collection of sculptural artworks that use sound as the primary medium, exploring the inherent materiality and physicality of sound through a range of media, working methods, and outcomes. The works utilise both conventional and unconventional methods of sound production; combining high-tech electronics (loudspeakers, computers, sensors, surface transducers) and customised sculptural elements (wood, rope, sheet metal, bioplastics, carbonated liquids, pyrotechnics) to demonstrate four distinct ways of working with sound in an artistic discipline.

Jordan Edge’s Acclimate is a temperature-reactive sound installation that uses industrial fans and loudspeakers to explore the physical and psychological effects of noise on the human body. Joseph Higgins’ Many Gods, Many Voices is an electro-acoustic composition and sound installation, using a bespoke sonic table to embody the ‘otherness’ of the human voice. Joshua Legallienne’s Action Without Action is a series of kinetic sculptures that produce acoustic sound without the use of loudspeakers, electronics, or conventional sources of energy. Charles Pender’s Maelström is an immersive multi-channel installation using surface transducers to propagate sound into suspended sheets of metal." " Jordan Edge (b. 1993, Newcastle-upon-Tyne)

Jordan Edge is a Brighton-based sound artist, sound designer, and performer. Edge’s practice communicates the act of listening over time, and listening as a process to develop greater understanding of our environmental and sonic surroundings. In his most recent work, Edge has been experimenting with industrial fans to manipulate the medium through which sound travels, creating reactive sound environments that explore the physical and psychological effects of noise on the human body. Edge was the recipient of the Seoul Award of Excellence for his most recent installation work, Acclimate. Edge also produces music under the alias Red Hook Grain Terminal with future releases confirmed on Always Human Tapes (US) and Audio.Visuals.Atmosphere (BE). http://www.jordanedge.co.uk

Joseph Higgins (b. 1994, Cambridge) Joseph Higgins is mostly known through his DJ and production work under artist names Metrist and L.SAE. After breaking onto the scene in 2014, Higgins has performed internationally and released work on labels such as Opal Tapes (UK), Fifth Wall (US), Parachute Records (IT), and Osiris Music (UK). Higgins cites his influences mostly from the world of acousmatic, electro-acoustic music, and musique concrète; this is evident in both his electro-acoustic compositions, and more club-focussed work. Alongside his work as Metrist, Higgins has been developing his sound art practice, experimenting with multi-channel arrays and exploring the embodiment of the voice into sculptural objects. Higgins continues to release records as Metrist, with two 12” vinyl releases scheduled for 2017 alone. https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/metrist

Joshua Legallienne (b. 1985, Harlow) Through sculpture and performance, Joshua Legallienne explores the sonic qualities of everyday materials; focusing on the creation of high-fidelity sound without the use of loudspeakers, electronics, or conventional sources of energy. Fascinated by the quiet sounds at the threshold of perception, Legallienne constructs fragile systems that create subtle acoustic sound through physical movement. His work investigates the interplay between environmental phenomena and the physical properties of raw materials, favouring those which have the ability to transform over time. Legallienne’s work has performed and exhibited in Germany, Norway, and the UK. He is the sonic arts curator for Fort Process, a biennial sound art festival held in Newhaven, UK; and runs ppppp., a vinyl only record label that promotes sound art and improvised music. Joshua has decided as part of his practice to have no online presence.

Guoda Dirtzye is a Lithuanian sound artist.
