Irrational Collective: This is an open invitation to experiment with the space, through the spatialisation of instruments, sounds and visuals. How can we use irrationality of artists’ interactions, improvisation and participation to build a common “score” somewhere between performances and installation? With members of the public, Plink Plonk, Apo33 Collective and more!
EASTERN EAR
Eastern Ear (previously The Norfolk and Norwich Sonic Arts Collective or NNSAC) is a not-for-profit organisation led by a small group of Norfolk-based artists, musicians and improvisers.Focused on celebrating, promoting and producing improvised and spontaneous music Eastern Ear aim to bring new music to the region and to provide opportunities for artists and the wider community to participate in sonic art activity, from education to performance.
In 2017 we launched ‘The Plank‘; A fortnightly workshop for improvisers where artists can collaborate in a free and non-judgemental environment, participating in a mix of structured activities and free improvisation. Since its inception, participants have performed live as a full ensemble, most notably supporting the percussionist, Steve Noble and in Cambridge supporting Flower Corsano Duo. In 2019 we launched ‘Plankestra Presents’; a series of live shows showcasing smaller groupings and ensembles formed within Plank workshops.
ELECTROPIXEL 12
Festival of emerging digital cultures and free electronic practices, Electropixel is part of an international network of electronic arts festivals. The festival opens a singular space allowing the meeting of artists (audiovisual, musicians, visual artists, intermedia, performers, etc.), theorists, programmers, tinkerers, and inventors of all kinds and of the factories of the everyday. For this new edition of the Electropixel festival, we plan to deepen the relationship to the collective and to shared creation through a network of international exchanges.
The festival continues to imagine and think about the new modalities of artistic creation during the pandemic and in particular the disintegration of the idea of commonality and sharing. We need to find links in creation, new ways to explore new writing together rather than being isolated, confined, separated. How to build creations that represent multiple and delocalized collectives?
