We are once again collaborating with Electric Spring Festival ↗ to put on two 'FLOAT Lates' gigs on the closing weekend of the festival!
Tickets
£9 per concert or £15 ticket bundle for both!
FRIDAY 20th
Ryoko Akama & Khabat Abas
This performance is a new experiment being developed by Khabat Abas and Ryoko Akama with Cello, cassette tapes, objects and electronic devices.
Ryoko Akama is a Japanese-Korean artist, composer and musician residing in Huddersfield. Her works sculpt domestic appliances and look-like-wastes into kinetic sounding contraptions with invisible energy such as heat, magnetism and gravity. Her site-specific works infuse aural / visual occurrence as one entity, creating ephemeral situations that magnify undefinable relationships between noise / silence, time / space. www.ryokoakama.work ↗
Khabat Abas is a cellist, composer, and interdisciplinary artist from Kurdistan-Iraq. Her work explores time, space, and memory through music, everyday sounds, and noises. She delves deeply into how we experience sound, particularly in various geopolitical contexts. Abas uses her instrument beyond traditional norms, improvising, composing, creating videos and sound installations, crafting cellos from diverse materials, and incorporating her body into performances. Through this approach, her work merges politics with personal expression, challenging conventional values and control. khabatabas.com ↗
