[NO] MORE TANGLES:
Performances in Audible Electronic Media

Do we sacrifice some innate soul when we use electronic tools to speak in a musical language—or do we discover a different kind of soul, in a different kind of song? What, exactly, do we divine, as we decide whether to interweave or set free, to add or subtract, to create a new problem or navigate toward a solution? In electronic media, tangling and detangling—literally, metaphorically—are the means whereby we discover our responses. [No] More Tangles showcases the work of artists who contend with their own self-created tangles.

PHANTOM CHIPS (Bristol, UK)
Phantom Chips makes her own wearable synthesizers that can be stretched and squeezed to create sound. Her homemade ‘lectronix squeals create bent charm and harsh mangled tones through tactile electronics. Concocting rhythms from an array of homemade electronic instruments, samplers and wearable noisemakers, Phantom Chips gets the audience wearing electronics and making noise.

What is "experimental" music?

The term "experimental" often denotes someone consciously toying with the paradigms of their medium and the expectations of their audience.

Panoply hosts 5 music artists which could fall into this category, experimenting with traditional instruments, electro-acoustics, multi-media, spoken word, and the body. The night will close with a talk-back about the meaning of "experimental" as it relates to each artists' practice.
