My Secret Heart Previews | Oct, 2008

My Secret Heart is a new commission by Streetwise Opera of a music and film installation written by electronic composer and Warp artist Mira Calix, video artists Flat-e and sound designer Dave Sheppard. The new piece is inspired by the Allegris 17th-century choral work Miserere Mei, a piece so protected by the Vatican that they put an embargo on it. Mira Calix and Flat-e have used the theme of secrecy to explore movements and singing with Streetwises participants to create this new century-leaping work.

These images are from the preview shows in Lucerne, Switzerland. The premiere is on 3 December at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

Singapore Arts Festival 2008 | Jun, 2008

Warp Works and 20th Century Masters continued it’s worldwide tour, this time in Singapore. Born at the Royal Festival Hall on 10th March 2003, and described by the Daily Telegraph as, “The beginnings of a quiet musical revolution”, the London Sinfonietta / Warp concerts grew out of a shared desire to explore the connection between the electronic experimenters on the Warp label and the avant-garde 20th century pioneers who were their sonic grandfathers, at least on one side.

Flat-e were commissioned to curate the visual accompaniments and lighting to this amazing show including films and real time visuals for György Ligeti, Conlon Nancarrow, Boards of Canada, Mira Calix, Aphex Twin, Steve Reich and Squarepusher.
