default #20
Hosted by default den haag
default#20 brings three importart figures from Beijing’s experimental music scene to The Grey Space as part of their first European tour.
Sun Yizhou, Zhu Wenbo, and Zhao Cong have all brought forward divergent ‘music unlike music’ ideas to the post-2000 eai discourse, including performances and compositions which defy easy categorisation. While an interest in electronic devices and daily objects may be a common ground, often here the concept is more important than the tools; exploring situations, rather than predetermined outcomes. Alongside them, the London based artist Li Song will accompany the program, whose approach with mechanical devices and portable speakers could be traced back to his time in the Beijing scene.
Concluding the lineup, the experimental outfit Able Noise – a cross-continent duo of George Knegtel and Alex Andropoulos based between The Hague and Athens. For this occasion the duo will prepare a specific, electro-acoustic approach driven live show.
Doors opens at 19.30
