From September 8 to 10, the Play series' five double programs carve out space for experimentation inside Place des Arts’ Cinquième Salle. Play highlights the exploratory, visceral and playful character of contemporary artists in digital art, audiovisual creation, and electronic music.
Cy-Ens — Lullabyte Portamenti LIVE
Cy-Ens is made up of Honey vH+ Haq Pazhutan and Max Pazhutan. They form a cybernetic ensemble that uses programming languages and digital gadgets to create "Lullabyte Portamenti," an eight-movement piece blending ethereal vocals with synthesizers and Theremin, over live-coded and algorithmic sound generation.
Ben Shemie — A Single Point Of Light LIVE
Lurching with synthetic grooves, Ben Shemie’s lo-fi psychedelic textures careen across genres boundaries, producing pop music at the outer edges of harmony. There’s a sense of enormous potential in his avant-garde, cavernous rhythms - songs that are unpredictable yet strangely familiar.
