[spectre] Audiopantalla MACBA Disco Rave: concert series with EVOL, Mark Fell and Lorenzo Senni (Saturday 1, 8 and 16 June)

[Radio Web MACBA]

*Audiopantalla MACBA Disco Rave: concert series with EVOL, Mark Fell and
Lorenzo Senni*

Audioscreen MACBA brings together three projects presenting new relations
between image and sound. In the current technological and cultural context,
they recover the experimental tradition around multisensory creation. On
this occasion the programme transcends the two-dimensionality of the screen
and *reproduces the spatial and audiovisual codification of the disco*, a
key contemporary musical device and one of the main relational spaces of
late capitalism. Guest performers this year are Roc Jiménez de Cisneros,
Mark Fell and Lorenzo Senni, three artists who base their work on the
*deconstruction
and reconfiguration of the sounds of electronic dance music* of the last
two decades.

The continuity and interdependence of sound and visual elements and the
displacement of reception from the ear to the entire body are two of the
main characteristics of discos. We are dealing with a ‘post-scenographic’
sign space that activates and is activated by the actions of the body. By
incorporating various disco elements, such as laser rays, colour and/or
stroboscopic lights and smoke, the programme seeks to encourage the
corporality of the viewers and their performative dimension, while
exploring the interaction between the public and the audiovisual continuum.

PROGRAMME:
*
*MACBA. Atrium of the Museum

*SATURDAY 1 JUNE, 10 pm*
*EVOL*
Roc Jiménez de Cisneros and Stephen Sharp (EVOL) produce what they call
‘computer music for hooligans’. Their work may be seen as an aesthetic
exploration of algorithmic compositions and a deconstruction of rave
culture. Their recordings, installations and live performances propose a
radical conception and a playful approximation to the synthesis of sound,
full of ascendant spirals and indecipherable temporal structures half way
between psychedelia and academia. Their new album, *Proper Headshrinker*,
has recently been released by Editions Mega.

*SATURDAY 8 JUNE, 10 pm*
*Mark Fell*
Mark Fell is, together with Mat Steel, the co-author of SND, one of the
most important creative cells of the ‘clicks n’ cuts’ scene. Fell’s solo
work is based on a re-reading of the language of dance music from the
nineties through different experimental uses of technology. His work
combines such diverse techniques as computation and sound synthesis with
the study of perception and phenomenology, something that has turned him
into one of the most interesting and daring audiovisual creators on the
international scene.

*SUNDAY 16 JUNE, 10 pm *
*Lorenzo Senni presents Oracle*
Lorenzo Senni is an unclassifiable creator who bases many of his
productions on the appropriation and re-reading of the sound and visual
background of rave culture. His latest work, *Quantum Jelly*, released by
Editions Mego, is a good example of the originality, dynamism and
overwhelming intensity of this musical trend. To present his music live,
the Italian musician has developed a sophisticated staging, incorporating
laser rays and other visual elements from the rave world.

This concert forms part of the closing night of Sónar and is organised in
conjunction with CCCB, where the concert *Max Richter + BCN216: Four
Seasons Recomposed* will take place at 8 pm.
