Missing Music: Suren Seneviratne (b. 1986) is a British Sri Lankan, London based producer, DJ and sound artist who is no stranger to the world of electronic music. For over a decade, he has explored the threshold of experimental media through a DIY lens using an arsenal of software, home-made electronics and modified synthesisers to create work that defies the limits of genre classification. His prolific output across various media can be found in record production, remix work, live performance, radio broadcast, film composition, theatre design, Net Art, interactive VR and exhibition. His newest endeavour Missing Music shines a spotlight on the innovative audio, digital signal processing and music software developed for the Macintosh computer system during the ‘90s to ‘00s.
En Creux is a Taiwanese experimental artist based in London. Performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from their fascinations in noise generated via feedback on digital and analogue equipment, and their role as a ‘mediator-performer’ in the multifaceted relationship between the sonic events incurring within the self-regulated system. ‘Fuzz comes alive, moving at odd angles like the sinuous threads are being chased by a series of subatomic bleeps and flashes. Tension rises as the tempo picks up, fueling the disjointed rhythmic quality within each sterile, self-contained unit.’ – Fox Digitalis

Chris [Symmetrical Forces] creates live visuals for each performance using his own lo-fi footage, dusty VHS tapes and obscure videos from the internet to create futuristic images from the past overlayed with out-of-reach memories and vague fragments of lost visions.
