LIVE PERFORMANCE / LAUNCH NIGHT: Kaffe Matthews
8.30 National Centre for Popular Music / Soundscape Drum
Noisy rhythms and abstract cyber landscapes - Kaffe's music defies the rules and regulations around sound and performance. She starts each show with no sound and grabs from what's there, making pieces crackling with digital tones and static, fizzing into pounding beats and cut to some hanging still space of beauty. The music is vast, sculpted into textural landscapes, vibrating granular technohymns and beats, via her on stage processing of sound from carefully placed microphones and an occasional violin.
