For this festival we join forces with composer, sound artist and our friend, Matt Wright. With compositions for acoustic and electronic instrumentation, Wright threads together his work as a composer with hours spent moonlighting at clubs. Alongside his pieces, we deliver likeminded music from Klang member Pete Harden. Pete’s music links together natural and mechanical ecosystems, his piece Guiyu Guitars becomes its own setting, his instruments hanging on venue walls in a performed sound installation.
