Performance
Electronic Music Showcase with Rian Treanor and Rotherham Sight and Sound
13:00–15:00
Henry Moore Institute, Leeds
About this event
Rian Treanor will deliver an experimental music workshop with participants from Rotherham Sight and Sound, a service for blind and visually impaired people.
The performance uses software specifically developed in response to the participants, who make music together in real time, exploring touch, procedural systems for group performance and radical computer music.
About the artist
Rian Treanor re-imagines club culture, experimental art and computer music, presenting an insightful and compelling musical world of fractured and interlocking components.
Having left a vivid impression with a string of releases on The Death of Rave & Warp sub-label Arcola, his debut album ATAXIA for Planet Mu in 2019 established him as both a disruptive and essential new voice in British underground club music.
His latest album File Under UK Metaplasm takes inspiration from his residency at the Nyege Nyege collective’s Boutique Studio in Kampala in 2018. It incorporates the high-def bass weight of his home town Sheffield with the enigmatic energy of Tanzanian Singeli and Footwork.Using the programming language Max/MSP he develops bespoke software to explore extended rhythmic techniques and algorithmic processes, building devices that enable spontaneous pattern modulation within various collaborations, workshops, live performances and installations.
Recent live shows include at the Aphex Twin Curated Warehouse Project (UK); Nyege Nyege Festival (Uganda); WWW (Japan); Unsound (Poland); CTM (Germany); Le Guess Who? (Netherlands); Mira Festival (Spain); Rewire (Netherlands); GES-2 (Russia); Serralves (Portugal); Berghain (Germany); No Bounds (UK); Cafe Oto (UK); Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Arts (UK); Empty Gallery (Hong Kong); Irish Museum of Modern Art (Ireland); Summerhall (UK). He has also taken part in artists residencies at yU+co[lab] in Hong Kong, Counterflows in India and Shape Platform 2020.
