7.30pm Pietnastka
“Pietnastka” is one of the recording monikers of Piotr Kurek, a Warsaw-based musician and composer. Since 2006 he has collaborated with a long list of contemporary dance and theater companies, record labels, and artists.
Kurek creates densely-woven tapestries of sound. His layered melodic patterns are constructed from, and influenced by, sounds ranging from contemporary abstractions to the ululations of primeval chants, using amplified organs, electric accordions, and many other unusual instruments.
8.30pm Neotantrik & Suzanne Ciani
As one half of musical research duo Neotrantrik (with Demdike Stare’s Sean Canty) Polish musician Andy Votel will collaborate with legendary American electronic music innovator Suzanne Cianni for a first-time performance of a special project in the David Rubenstein Atrium. Cianni, recently hailed as a “Synthesizer Queen” by the Los Angeles Times, has played a pivotal role in the development of electronic music in the US. Her recent rediscovery by today’s electronic music fans has come about in part due the compilation Lixiviation, 1969-1985 and reissues released on Votel’s record label.
