Soressa Gardner
Soressa collaborates with novelists and poets, setting their words to electronic soundscapes or songs, as the material demands. For Squarewaves, Soressa will perform two pieces: Kaspoit! by Dennis E. Bolen is a novel of the times, told in the language of the times. It is a pure exploration of the 'banality of evil', chilling and outrageous. Homecoming and Heart Monitor by Evie Christie is a collection of poems that "traverse the difficult distance between far-flung places in the province of love" (Paul Vermeerch)
Not Sent Letters
Graham Meisner and Jeremy Todd will be performing 'Not Sent Letters', a spoken word piece with live electronica and video projections.
Jacobson's Organ
A female trio that experiments with homemade analogue synths. The audio geography will have the potential range from painfully quiet to pleasurably raucous.
Players:
