Silent Servant’s prolific output as a producer and artist has laid the groundwork for much of the most ambitious and forward thinking electronic music of today. As a member of the now defunct Sandwell District, he helped force the hand of change with uncompromising ability. And still, he continues to do so with even greater strength and success.

While insincerity remains the safety of many, Silent Servant’s own productions are brutally honest and resolute, rendering irrelevant those mongering for light. Deeply pensive and forward thinking, his sound is marked by a distinct blend of the disparate and divergent. An appreciation of warehouse techno, industrial noise and post-punk are evident, yet challenged and reworked to form a uniquely modern style – a vitality so controlled and concentrated that it captivates immediately.

“Dimensions of Voice” highlights 3 artists who use voice as a central instrument; as landscape, sound bath, conjuring device, and fluid transmission between worlds, binaries, time and space.

An extension of the Art of Performance Series, “Dimensions of Voice” is a broadcast of sets by Colin Self, Odeya Nini and Anna Oxygen, all who engage in composing practices that center voice tripping, voice improvisation, and voice as a cosmic force for community connection.

Anna Oxygen is an artist whose work spans performance, sound, technology and interactivity. As a solo musician she frequently performs a mix of improvised vocalizations and narrative electronic dance pieces. She is also a founding member of media performance collective Cloud Eye Control, creating interactive and time-based work that addresses speculative futures and the impact of technology on the human psyche. She frequently works collaboratively and has a special interest in connectivity across platforms and dimensions (3D to 2D to the astral place and back again) She has performed nationally and internationally at a number of venues including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, MOMA PS1, Festival A Mil, Chile and The New Museum (NYC) among others.

Colin Self is an artist and composer based in Berlin. They create music, performance and environments for expanding consciousness, troubling binaries and boundaries of perception and communication. They work with communities across disciplines and practices, using voices, bodies, and computers as tools to interface with biological and technological software. Self is a Rhizome Commission Grant recipient for video project ClumpTV, a Queer Art Mentorship Fellow, and was an Eyebeam Resident in 2016. They are a co-founder of queer collective Chez Deep and The Radical Diva Grant, and was a vocalist and performer for the band SSION.

Micachu & the Shapes are one of the funnest bands to watch perform. We trust you’ll open up your imagination wide as you’re listening to this great band fly through some tunes full of quirkiness and punch. Think of the incredible gestures they made while making these sounds. Maybe they are beating drums, ukulele and keys in a jumpy stomping jam or maybe they’re floating far above the Earth dropping notes to the tops of trees below so that birds may form nests for their young to fly skyward and flap a wing hello back at Micachu. Or possibly these sounds are evoking images of a robotic roadrunner looping around a track as the audience stomps and mashes the floor with enthusiastic cheers of encouragement. Whatever your visions may involve we hope you enjoy this “sprout session” from one of our favorite bands.

Pregnant is the bottomless and humble musical interest and hobby of Daniel Trudeau. The project has existed for over a decade in all plausible slews and fashions from a solo incarnation on into a quintet and is always presented first and foremost as Electronic Pop, although that definition cannot and will not fully sum a conclusive aural understanding of the material. Trudeau invites his eclectic imagination, along with whatever available retinue of performers, to imbue his music with a contextually familiar sound and for the purpose of pulling in even the most bereft listeners; domesticating them, for lack of a better word, to go on a proper listening journey.
