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 SHAPE+ supported artist will be joined by the Berlin-based visual artist u-matic & telematique, who hold a particular fascination for intangible processes including perception and the sense of time.

Experimental audiovisual artist Sabiwa, supported by SHAPE+, draws inspiration from a myriad of personal recordings – among other daily family life, natural and surrounding soundscapes, sounds and ancient music traditions from native tribes of Taiwan – to create a beguiling journey through traditional Taiwanese folk musics turned concrète. Incorporating her own voice and manipulating and fragmenting source material to the point of it becoming unrecognisable, her mesmerising performance will explore psychedelic narratives through a live multi-projection AV show with additional performers Nathan L. & MingJou Chen.
