Josten Myburgh 24 June – 21 July 2024 Josten Myburgh's residency involves the development of a concert-length electro-acoustic work for solo alto saxophone, projected through a triangle of speakers with Josten in the middle.   The work centres a technique Josten has been developing combining non-standard tunings and electronic processing on the instrument. They will be using the residency to develop this technique in detail, looking for unusual combinations of frequencies which produce psychoacoustic phenomena, such as surprisingly loud sub-bass tones and rhythmic pulsations. Their focus is on a tender, embodied relationship to composing and playing, that comes out of […]

‘Stations of Light’ is the new exhibition by musician and photographer Eduardo Cossio. The newly developed work presents a series of abstract images exploring light in sculptural ways. Photograms, re-projections, and paper sculptures are used to articulate a space for contemplation. With an emphasis on photographic process, the collection treats light as both medium and subject. Light’s ephemeral quality is explored through sequences and sculptural arrangements that evoke a place for worship, but also hint at the origins of photography; to what William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877) called ‘the art of fixing shadows’. The exhibition includes one of Cossio’s Photo […]

WWIM presents: Exploring Sounds with Contact Mics and Found Objects is a free, introductory workshop designed for young people (aged 16-25) to experiment with contact microphones and create improvised sounds using objects. A contact microphone senses audio vibrations through contact with solid objects, unlike normal microphones that sense audio vibrations in the air. This allows for a fascinating exploration of sound in a tactile and immersive way. Participants will have the opportunity to: 1. Learn the basics of using contact microphones 2. Experiment with creating sounds from everyday objects 3. Combine sound with other art forms such as movement and tactile arts Attendees will […]
