One of the positive aspects of representing art through online streaming is the opportunity to create small-scale events and programmes without worrying about audience numbers. The speed of information consumption via the Internet and other mass media directly impacts our perception of reality – physical, virtual, augmented – and imbues it with an affect, which in the context of this event, it is obviously a positive one.

The programme is just four chamber works, the material of which is focused on how voice, percussion and electronics interact and integrate via feedback. A trio from Moscow featuring Olga Vlasova (voice), Dmitry Vlasik (percussion) and Nikolay Popov (electronics) will present their (auditory) vision of the approach to forming a syntax between the acoustic, physiological and electroacoustic instrumentation.
