Lost Communications 失絡之聲

Lost Communications 失絡之聲 is an immersive exploration of the light and darkness of nature. Composer An-Ting collected field recordings of birdsong and mixed them with dark experimental electronic music with droning soundscapes and hard beats.

For a live audio-visual performance, An-Ting is joined by Ian Gallagher. Ian uses cutting-edge AI technology to document the duo’s ideas and mind-bending experiences with live audio-reactive visuals for a 360º screen, reacting in real-time to a special spatial mix of An-Ting’s music.

The Lost Communications performance will be preceded by screenings of two short video works by Norwich University of the Arts faculty:

Jinn-Ginnaye, by Kirk Woolford, is an exploration of movement in place. It is a collection of dance pieces exploring issues of bringing western dance performance to the United Arab Emirates, where local modesty laws influence how bodies can be shown in public. Using video compositing, motion capture, and virtual reality techniques, the piece removes the body of the dancer, but leaves behind both the dance and traces of the desert in which it was created.

Sea States is a new multi-screen video installation by Louis Nixon, consisting of 24 CCTV monitors on stands.
