+ void_null (liveAV)
COLLAPSE is an immersive LiveAV performance from void_null. It’s a response to one of the darkest mysteries in our known universe - the Black Hole.
The 45 minute show alludes to some of the more bizarre known facts about the nature of these gargantuan creatures, who’s very existence lead to unsettling and fundamental questions about the nature of reality.

+ Akira Sileas
Sound artist Akira Sileas has a unique understanding of sound, synthesis and noise, creating experiences that sit perfectly between theory, knowledge, creativity and performance. The end result is always something really special.
+ Moral Fibre + Aevi (live AV)
Aevi generates organic visuals through real-time rendering and generative software. Driving his visuals with live audio data, aevi’s environments are controlled chaos, fluid and ethereal with hard distortion and glitch mixed in.
Moral Fibre interacts with Aevi's visuals through a process of live synthesis and sampling sequenced to generate cerebral soundscapes and underpinned by impactful low-end, contrasted with percussive textural excursions. Moral Fibre is as influenced by ambient experiments as he is club-focused bass music, melding the two to create something else entirely.
