In the Round: 99CHANTS ft David August, Haedong Lee & Yidan Kim, Damsel Elysium
Institute of Contemporary Arts

As part of the ICA's February In the Round series, we welcome back David August's 99CHANTS label for a special showcase featuring August himself, plus sound artist Haedong Lee and olfactory artist Yidan Kim who explore the origins of art in ritual. Sound and scent are used to evoke expanded awareness and transitional states of consciousness. 

Also performing is Damsel Elysium, the solo project of UK based multidisciplinary artist and multi-instrumentalist Djenaba Davis-Eyo. Damsel is a holistic world builder using sound, video, performance and other artistic mediums, blurring the lines of genre, discipline and expectation.

All sets will be presented in-the-round using the venue's state-of-the-art 360° soundsystem, d&b Soundscape. 
Supported by d&b audiotechnik.
