British cellist and composer Lucy Railton presents a visceral live set drawing on music from her Modern Love release Corner Dancer, bridging experimental electronic and electroacoustic practices with the conventions of new music, employing a deep consideration of sound and its properties, implementing cello and antiquated string instruments, analog and digital synthesizers, drum machines and voice—and exploring alternate tuning systems, psychoacoustic phenomena, and timbral control.
Lucy Railton is a British, Berlin based cellist, composer and curator working internationally in sound, dance, film and installation since 2007. She has released music on labels Modern Love, Editions Mego - GRM Portraits, PAN (with Peter Zinovieff), Shelter Press, Ideologic Organ and ECM, and currently collaborates on projects with Shō player Michiko Ogawa ‘Fragments of Reincarnation’, Kali Malone and Stephen O’Malley ‘Does Spring Hide Its Joy’, Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith ‘Correspondences’, Derek Jarman’s ‘BLUE’ live with Simon Fisher Turner, presentations of Maryanne Amacher’s electroacoustic work ‘GLIA’ and as a member of the Berlin ensemble 'Harmonic Space'.
Amma Ateria is a philosophy held through her work, — to give strength to disintegration and fragility, to rebuild from aftermath, from dust. An electroacoustic composer / sound artist, her work examines psychoacoustics in binaural beats, brainwave entrainment, and equal-loudness contour. With immediacy of tension / release, she navigates between oppositions, transforming deafening noise into self hypnosis and metamorphosis. Compositions developed during her concussion recovery, utilizes brainwave entrainment, time shifts, and changes of neurological responses to DELTA, THETA, ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA waves as materials and focal point. With memories of condensed cities, she gravitates to frequencies of close-ranged airplanes, polyrhythmic occurrences, out-of-body experiences, sustained harmonics intersected with musique concrète, and lost speech.
‘The Entropic Arias: I. Neurogenesis Overload’ sonically encapsulates Ateria's post-concussion neurogenesis as it enters stages of maximal entropy. A series of sonic movements develops as she navigates entropy acceleration to reach equilibrium. This work invites audiences into a space where breakdowns—sonic or cognitive—become thresholds for clarity and balance for meditation, blurring the line between collapse and emergence.
