Returning to London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) this November for the second year of collaboration, we’re bringing a two-day program with 11 of our favorite artists for some serious Advanced Weekender vibes.

For the first of our two-day collaboration in London with the ICA, a complex and emotional aural web is woven throughout the evening by six diverse international artists. 

Hailing from Ohio, Seth Graham merges his philosophical background with a deep exploration of sound, encompassing a wide spectrum of styles that blend the intellectual rigor of classical avant-garde traditions with the fluidity of modern pop and caustic noise. Deeply personal, the sounds of Mari Maurice aka More Eaze too span a wide array of genres and nuanced themes. Shaped in ways that feel both experimental and intimate, she invites listeners into a space where the boundaries of self and sound blur, marked by a sensitivity to perception.

Lebanese-born producer and DJ Rabih Beaini crafts a multi-channel, layered and polyphonic collage of traditional sounds, field recordings, and a melange of aurals from Alice Coltrane and Sufi rituals to industrialized causticity. Building magnificent and dizzying percussive compositions in often bizarre time signatures, Julian Sartorius surpasses genres to evoke all manner of flavours, from hyper-future industrial techno to lurching-hip-hop instrumentals. Together the two build a wall of complex, hypnotic and mind-melting improvisation.

Berlin based Cuban-American artist LAMB [K305] enthralls and terrifies with their visceral vocal performances, drawing inspirations from bass, grim pop, grime and horror films with a twist of sadism through a darkly whimsical arrangement of sample-based pattern making.

American composer and musician Stephen O’Malley, though best known for his role as guitarist and founder of Sunn O))), has earned admiration as a wizard of fiercely innovative collaborations and as a promulgator of the musical and artistic avant-garde at large. Expanding on the principles of Sunn’s heavy, droning guitars, O’Malley brings his wall of amps to close out the night in a storm of guitar abrasion and sonic pressure.
