This June we’re bringing in the speakers and filling our gallery with music with an eclectic mix of underground and ambient club sounds, intimate blues and electronic experimentation!
First up we have Alex Smoke, Veronica Petukhov and Curlew.
An immersive blend of sound and live visuals awaits with this welcome return of Scotland’s Cryptic as part of an ongoing exchange with ArtHouse Jersey.
Alex Smoke is a musician and composer working across various fields of sound, including electronic production, sound installation and instrumental composition. His work focuses on creating immersive experiences that engage the listener’s consciousness.
Veronica Petukhov is an Italo-Ukrainian digital artist and VJ. She specialises in video, digital art and installations and is also one half of the audiovisual duo muto major.
Using electronics and voice, Alex Smoke will create a new work inspired by nature, drawing from the local landscape while in residence at Greve de Lecq Barracks. Sonically, the piece will explore the boundaries between natural sound and its artificial representations. Responding to Alex’s compositions, visual artist Veronica Petukhov will capture the scenery of Jersey on film and translate it into real-time visuals. The project will culminate in a meditative concert experience, blending sound and visuals to evoke a deep connection with the environment.
Curlew is the moniker of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Gill Higgins. Curlew’s solo work is often inspired by themes relating to her training as a surgeon and scientist, blending sounds of the ancient and the modern, through looped vocal harmony, field recordings, synthesiser and harmonium drones. A keen wild swimmer, Curlew’s research in Jersey delves into the folklore and superstitions surrounding the sea across the British Isles which she will present in live multimedia performance.
Established in 1994, Cryptic is Scotland’s internationally renowned home of audiovisual art and experimentation, and presents and promotes the most dynamic talents of today and tomorrow as they explore new dimensions in live music, visual and sonic arts and performance.
