Thursday 7th August at the Rossi Bar: Digital Roses / Simon Heartfield / Partial Wave Child

Digital Roses: Trippy electronica, earth shattering vocals
Simon Heartfield: Analogue spatial post-techno
Partial Wave Child: “Above Fire Below the Lake”

Digital Roses conjure a world of haunted memories and shimmering noise, where wistful, soulful vocals weave through Nordic noir electronica and synthesised incantations. Based in London, this queer duo crafts sonic performances that blur the boundaries between sound art, audiovisual ritual, and experimental pop. Also they have produced multimedia Quasi Operas, like their sold-out debut Noise Petals and Narrative in Time and Space at Wandsworth Fringe, summoning dancers, poets, and projections into a multisensory rite.

Expect deep spatial textured post-techno sounds using Elektron Analog Four, Digitakt and Model Cycles

Above Fire Below the Lake* is an improvised electroacoustic performance for augmented flute by Partial Wave Child. Jockel Liess and Geoixos use a purpose-built software environment to extend the flute’s capabilities, creating a seamless tapestry of live-processed, manipulated, and sampled sounds.
The performance explores a wide range of flute techniques, from breath tones to high pitch partials, blending them with live sampled electronic textures. Guided by a score outlining 12 modal areas, this piece is an indeterminate journey through a dynamic musical terrain, weaving rhythms and tonalities fluidily into an ever-evolving soundscape. Take a moment to exist alongside this piece of performance art that fuses musical concepts in seeming opposition, transforming the space into one of unpredictable beauty and tension.
