World premiere

Composers and sound artists Sigrid Angelsen, Łukasz Moroz, and Oskar Tomala join together to present the sensory-sensitive performance Membranes. They each bring a distinct approach to sonic experimentation, yet their collaboration reveals a shared fascination with the subtle intersections of sound, space, and perception. Working across electroacoustic composition, improvisation, and contemporary performance, the trio engages piano, cello, and zither in dynamic interplay, incorporating resonators, unconventional tunings, and live processing to sculpt an intricate, tactile sound world. In Membranes they reveal the nuance and subtlety of transforming sound through physical motion. This performance connects acoustic instruments to a moving, fabric surface – a membrane – that acts as both a barrier and a conduit, filtering and reshaping what comes into contact with it. Prepared instruments, elements of chamber music, and free improvisation reveal the fragile boundary between control and spontaneity.
