On Saturday, May 10, join us at Ocean Space for an evening of live sound performances and music, an exploration of improvisation~freestyle as an aesthetic tool and strategy in its implications with geological formations, processes of becoming and the search for freedom with Vivian Caccuri & Thiago Lanis, Hannah Catherine Jones & Kelman Duran.
program
- 8:30pm | Fantasma boca. A sound performance by Vivian Caccuri & Thiago Lanis. (25’) In collaboration with Fondazione Ratti.
Fantasma Boca is a sound performance where Vivian Caccuri and Thiago Lanis recreate the soundscape of a tropical forest in a live recording. Birds, insects, air, rainstorms and other beings are reenacted by the performers using their lips, mouths and thett only. Sounds are recorded one by one and leyered live, creating a nocturnal scene with a strange spatiality that create a believable feeling to the audible atmosphere.
- 9pm | PORTAL: Into Liquidity. A performance by Hannah Catherine Jones. (40’)
Hannah Catherine Jones will open up a resonant portal composed from of layers of improvised soundwaves, loops, cycles, samples and vocalisations through her multi-instrumental set-up, dwelling on the triad of sonic liminality: the waterphone, the theremin, and the steel pan - the latter of which Jones will be encountering for the very first time, aurally embodying her own Bajan-British diasporic histories, reverberating with the themes of the exhibition and activating the acoustic architecture potentialities of Ocean Space.
- 10pm | Water silence. A performance and DJ set with Kelman Duran. (40’)
Kelman Duran revisits and reimagines archival recordings of the renowned Haitian drummer Tiroro, originally recorded in the 1940s. The methodology used to record them is a contested one, albeit a colonial practice; Duran kept that in mind when replaying, re-editing and replaying this material, holding space for its echoes and transforming the act of replay into a gesture of reckoning
Biographies
Vivian Caccuri is an artist and musicologist based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For the past fifteen years, Caccuri has been developing installations, performances, drawings, and embroideries that investigate how sound can disorient everyday experiences, inspire new forms of living, and shift power dynamics in society. Caccuri’s artistic practice seeks to highlight the active yet under-recognized aspects of sound.
Thiago Lanis is a composer and music producer born in Arará, a slum in Rio de Janeiro. Being exposed since childhood to the cultural plurality of "favelas" the Brazilian working-class neighborhoods with a mostly black population, Thiago is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and deeply inspired by polyrhythmic genres of Brazilian, Latin American and African music.
Dr. Hannah Catherine Jones (aka foxymoron) is a London-based artist, researcher, multi-instrumentalist, broadcaster/DJ (BBC Radio/TV, NTS - The Opera Show), composer, conductor, founder of Peckham Chamber Orchestra – a community project established in 2013 and founder of Chiron Choir - a queer diasporic choir established in 2022.
