Penumbra: Dali de Saint Paul, Maxwell Sterling, Charlie Hope and Rebecca Salvadori

ACCA and Brighton-based arts collective Lost Property are delighted to co-present Penumbra, a new experimental performance by vocalist Dali de Saint Paul, electronic composer and double bassist Maxwell Sterling, and visual artists Charlie Hope and Rebecca Salvadori.

Commissioned by Outlands, an open membership network that supports and unites promoters of experimental music and interdisciplinary performance across the country, the Penumbra project grew out of a Late Junction session between Dali and Maxwell. It comprises live improvised music structured by a prepared video and lighting score.

Join us to discover this exciting new music commission and support the vital experimental scene of our vibrant city.

Supported by Arts Council England and produced by Al Cameron.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Dali de Saint Paul
Known as a relentless collaborator and improviser, Dali de Saint Paul is the voice of searing industrial duo Harrga, female improvising ensemble Viridian, trio dark idl, supergroup Ondata Rossa, and as the consistent element in her recently-concluded ‘self-exploding’ project EP/64, which existed for 64 live shows, each with a different line up, and involving over forty musicians as well as visual artists over a six-year period.

Maxwell Sterling
Maxwell Sterling’s multidisciplinary output as a sound producer, composer and double bassist spans regular collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, filmmakers and fashion designers. His work creates points of reference between precision sound synthesis and acoustic traditions, and can be heard on lauded solo releases for The Death of Rave and AD93, and his 2022 EP with Martha Skye Murphy, Distance on Ground (American Dreams).

Charlie Hope
Charlie Hope creates installations and performances which use light and space along with elements like video and coding to generate sensory experiences. He has presented solo work and collaborations with other artists and musicians at galleries, clubs and public spaces across Europe. He co-founded the London Topophobia collective, and has recently presented projects with Amsterdam’s HetHEM, London’s ICA and Nottingham Contemporary.

Rebecca Salvadori
London-based artist Rebecca Salvadori works at the intersection between video art and documentary. Her film works act as constellations of highly personal and wilfully elusive heterogeneous elements: multifaceted portraits of moments, people and environments, moving between personal and transpersonal scales. Over the last 15 years she has consistently engaged with experimental music, exploring ways to connect the moving image with sound practices, live performance and alternative forms of storytelling.

Kinetic Resonance: A performance with ‘Orbit’ by Blanc Sceol (Stephen Shiell & Hannah White)

Orbit is a unique 10-stringed instrument, created by sound-makers Blanc Sceol. The decagon body is spun by one set of hands, as the other hands hold a bow to the ten strings. As the two players work together the Orbit creates a cosmos of dynamic, pitch-shifting drones and harmonic rhythms, invoking lunar cycles and planetary time signatures.
