Live Performance

As the duo User Syndrome, the circuit-bending Beirut-based artist Rhéa Dally and improvising lyricist Freya Edmondes aka Elvin Brandhi will jump from their free-fall of failing reality internalistion to interrogate Sustain.

What does it mean to sustain an instrument and how do we let go of the need to sustain a tool? We think in terms of sustaining any thing out of fear of losing it tomorrow, but how would we use these things if we didn’t fear tomorrow? How would we sustain today?

Stay tuned...

Following a premiere at CTM 2024, the work will be broadcast via Deutschlandfunk Kultur and ORF in spring and autumn 2024 respectively.

The Radio Lab is a project by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Hörspiel / Klangkunst and CTM Festival in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst, and Ö1 Kunstradio. This year it takes place within the framework of the sound art initiative tekhnē, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
