Drawing on club culture, Trudat Sound & Light’s Semispecific is a night of live electronica and visuals, performed as an improvised DJ-set and using multi-channel audio, projection mapping and a reactive light installation.

Combining fractured snapshots of found sound and distorted imagery with hypnotic rhythms and deeply textured sonics, artists Charlie Knox and Euan McKenzie explore the relationship between perception, memory and identity.

A performance of work by Michael Edwards and Martin Parker. 'hyperboles 3' by Edwards demands great stillness on the part of the players and the audience. Consisting almost exclusively of delicate multiphonics, upon which electronics are superimposed to surround the audience.

Parker's 'scripts' are inserted into 'hyperboles 3' as a type of punctuation. A seamless intervention, but distinctively different, offering players (and listeners) an opportunity to move and breathe in a different way before Michael's piece resumes. Changes in lighting distinguish different sections.
