Berlin-based Chinese musician, composer, and performance artist Pan Daijing defies easy categorisation. Her live work redefines sound beyond its purely sonic category to tell stories that cross various disciplines and forms. Her cutting-edge approach combines diverse references, raw emotions and striking aesthetic and poetic sensibilities that harness concepts of philosophy and psychological affect. Her third album Tissues is an hour-long record taken from the artist’s performance piece of the same name that was shown at the Tate Modern back in 2019. The work was conceived as an opera in five acts, combining Daijing’s long-standing exploration of electronic music.
John Bence is a composer and producer from Bristol, UK, whose work tackles epic narrative themes an uncompromising sonics with a juddering emotional punch. His elegiac works occupy an omnivorous sound-world, assimilating elements of British avant-garde and electronic music, classical tradition and sacred medieval song into cavernous, sepulchral compositions. He will be performing material from his new album Archangels, set to be released Friday 24 Feb on Thrill Jockey.
