Battey/Ertan New Audiovisual Installation + VBAB Retrospective, Dec 6 - Late March at Phoenix Cinema

 

Bret Battey and Deniz Ertan (musicologist, educator and classical guitarist) have co-created a new audiovisual installation, ‘time, bruised, selves’, which is opening to the public at Leicester’s Phoenix Cinema and Gallery on Friday, Dec 6. It will run until late March. Continually transforming, ultra-detailed abstract imagery dances within a classical guitar sound world. The work is inspired by the perpetual procession of three intertwined states of being, as evoked by the title.

Also for the Phoenix gallery, Battey has curated a retrospective selection of films from the ten episodes of ‘Visible Bits, Audible Bytes’ that MTI has presented at Phoenix since 2010, bringing extraordinary digital audiovisual artworks from around the world to Leicester audiences. One reel focuses on audiovisual compositions from Montreal, and the other on works that blur the line between the abstract and the concrete. https://www.phoenix.org.uk/events/visible-bits-audible-bytes-retrospective/. This retrospective opens with and runs in parallel with ‘time, bruised, selves’. 

 




Luigi Russolo Competition Finals Concert @ DMU / Talk @ Phoenix

On 26 September, DMU will host a free concert of electroacoustic music featuring the finalist pieces in the 2023 Luigi Russolo Competition for Electroacoustic Music.  Former winner and current director of the Russolo competition, Philippe Blanchard, will give a talk on the father of noise music, Luigi Russolo, at 6pm at the Phoenix Cinema and Arts Centre (Phoenix Square, 4 Midland St, Leicester).  This talk will explore Russolo’s work and his influence on the Italian Futurist movement. It will also explore the role of evolving technology in the acousmatic repertoire—from Russolo’s intonarumori (noise makers) to the present day. The talk will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of electronic music and alternative performance. 

The concert, in surround audio, will follow at 7.30pm in PACE Studio 1, Richmond Street, DMU Admission is free for both events.
