Plus Minus Ensemble, with Francesca Fargion, voice.

A diverse programme, inviting the listener into contact with the material nature of sound. Bernhard Lang’s Game 542 creates a dynamic and reactive environment for the performers who negotiate an overlapping stack of interacting loops. Liza Lim’s duo is titled after the Viking Rune symbolizing fertility and imagines a ritualistic creation of sound itself.

Plus Minus Ensemble presents a diverse programme, inviting the listener into contact with the material nature of sound, rather than what it represents. Franzson’s time stretching work slows down the body and mind to draw one into the grain of sound. Lim’s duo is titled after the Viking rune symbolising fertility and imagines a ritualistic creation of sound itself. Crane sustains the most elemental of musical objects to create a feeling of timelessness and space. Lang’s Game series creates a dynamic and reactive environment for the performers who negotiate an overlapping stack of interacting loops. Shiori Usui has created a new piece for Deep Time exploring the layering of instrumental and electronic sound.

Following recent forays into performative and intermedial work, Plus Minus returns to its roots with a programme of instrumental music with electronics. Four of the most refined and distinctive voices in contemporary music will be featured: Cassandra Miller, Davíð Brynjar Franzson, and City composers Newton Armstrong and Georgia Rodgers. Each of these composers is concerned, albeit in different ways, with the fundaments of the compositional act and the manner in which sonic materials can be contextualised, processed, layered and transcribed.
