Matthias Schack-Arnott at Phoenix Central Park
Thursday 14 November from 7pm to 8pm
Doors open 30 minutes before advertised starting times.
This performance will be a culmination of the solo work Matthias Schack-Arnott has undertaken at the prestigious Peggy Glanville-Hicks residency this year.
Weaving together live percussion with ecstatic electronic textures to create a visceral and hypnotic musical world. The performance is a continuation of Matthias’ recent interest in the entanglement of acoustic resonance and electronic sound, and informed by ideas of sonic spectres, musical traces and doubling.
