Channelling historical instruments like the gigantic theorbo lute, the baroque alto viola, and the baroque oboe, as Heinali the Ukrainian composer and musician Oleh Shpudeiko resynthesises early music with a modular synthesiser, exploring intersections of past and present. In exploring the roles of providence and contingency, he provides a bridge with which to connect the worlds of High Mediaeval polyphony and modular synthesis.
The artist was joined by the Berlin-based visual duo u-matic & telematique, who hold a particular fascination for intangible processes including perception and the sense of time.
The project premiered during CTM Festival 2024 at Radialsystem.
