Motie - Thursday (Opening Night)

THE FUTURE IS SOUND at ADE
Ruthlss and Portrait XO move between piano-led electronic writing, processed voice, data sonification and audiovisual performance at The Stargate. The night sits between composed passages, club percussion and synthetic textures, with sound and image both doing the work.

Boris Acket’s EINDER installation sets the scene for Elias Mazian and his band at Centrale Markthal, in a seated live performance. Expect warm, band-led versions of his songs, with vocals up front, soft synths and a slow audiovisual environment.
