DÉCALÉ w/ SIMEON BARCLAY, JULINE HADAYA, HANNAH CATHERINE JONES and LAILA SAKINI
03 Jul 26 — 03 Jul 26
Performance
Venue: Cafe OTO
An evening of sonic and visual experiments, bringing together four artists working with moving image, live performance, improvisation, inner and outer landscapes.Simeon Barclay will perform An Ode To a Crow — “Come on an excursion through Yorkshire, along arterial roads that bear witness to an industrial legacy, birthing a sonic heartbeat that serves as a symphony to didactic desire, memory and transformation. Through words spoken, and a sonic and visual landscape, I shall doff a hat to the purveyors of electronic pop in the region, and the high fashion that was their armour.”
Using field recordings traversing geographies, self-produced stems, voice and open-source media, Juline Hadaya’s Double Life' is a multisensory performance exploring the entangled self suspended between two timelines: the past and the future.
Hannah Catherine Jones will present a largely improvised set, channelling grief from recent bereavements through a multi-instrumental set-up, including theremin, synthesisers, loopers, fx and samples.
Drawing from her multiple known and unknown aliases, Laila Sakini will perform a mini set utilising percussion, voice, piano, found sound, electronics and whatever’s close to hand.
Décalé is programmed by Leila Arenou, Kadeem Oak and Chooc Ly Tan.
