Heith + METATERME (Emiddio Vasquez + Elvin Brandhi) + Ansuman Biswas + Karina Sletten (DJ)
The Bath House
80 Eastway, E9 5JH
Friday May 29th, 19:00
Four artists explore
relations between the analogue and the digital, the organic and the synthetic,
at The Bath House on May 29th.
Heith's music exists where organic and digital elements
clash, merge, and transform, evoking both reminiscence and curiosity, the
familiar and the alien. His latest album, Escape Lounge (PAN), is a lush,
dreamlike work inspired by contemporary digital spirituality and post-informational
folklore. The founder of Haunter Records, Heith has collaborated with Puce
Mary, Visio, and Kareem Lotfy. On May 5th, Stroom will release Duori, a
"5th world music" collaboration with Tarawangsawelas.
Elvin Brandhi + Emiddio Vasquez = METATERME, a project
redefining the sacred in the tempo of the NOW. In their quasi-nomadic practise
of creative displacement, they deterritorialise circuits of interference,
intersections of influence, and cultural awareness. They make space for
nightmares: conditions for the space to dream, unfreezing the limbs of
resilience. At the 2024 Venice Biennale’s Cyprus Pavilion, with Poncili
Creacion, they held an exorcism performance, exploring sensory extremes of the sauna.
This inspired “curse reverse”: group healing through intimacy, empathy, and
catharsis, attending to the extremes of the psyche.
Ansuman Biswas has an international practice encompassing
music, film, live art, installation, writing and theatre. His music spans free
improvisation, pop, jazz, and classical musics from around the world. Underpinning
his work is the core discipline of Vipassana, which has informed his commitment
to the primacy of listening, and the fluidity of identity.
From the Norwegian West coast, Karina Sletten’s DJ sets
express her associations with other artists on the bill, showcasing pathways
and interests that intertwine a plethora of genres and histories. Her work
spans sound art, performance, installation, and relational public practices.
