Description
Daylight Music 381 - ISAN, Xenia Pestova Bennett. Doors midday. Music begins at 1pm.
As part of our 15th birthday year, we
have something special for our fellow digital dreamers – we follow the
space waves to imagined utopian vistas, dip and dive into oceanic
soundscapes and blast off into the boundless infinity of space. ISAN return
to our shores to present their fuzzy, shimmering orchestrated and
multi-layered conversation between man and machine. In the new project All Aglow, Xenia Pestova Bennett
combines her artistry as a concert pianist with the nostalgia of
analogue synthesizers and explores resonance to portray the effects of
bioluminescence in coastal sea waters.
Robin Saville and Antony Ryan have
been navigating the aural autobahn as ISAN since 1996. With Robin based
in England and Antony residing in Denmark, they creatively communicate
via email, telephone and the occasional postcard. Having recorded for a
variety of micro-indies such as Bad Jazz, Static Caravan and Wurlitzer
Jukebox, they now consider Morr Music as their spiritual home. ISAN have
remixed and been remixed by the likes of Depeche Mode, The Notwist,
Seefeel and Piano Magic amongst others. They also love to bring their sounds to the stage, having played festivals such as Sonar and the Big
Chill and as far afield as China, Japan, Iceland, Russia and Brazil.
Xenia Pestova Bennett has performed at international
festivals, in concert halls, tropical rainforests, caves, ponds and
countless weird and wonderful venues and spaces. She has commissioned
and recorded dozens of new works, collaborating with major innovators in
contemporary music, exploring classical music boundaries with
electronics, toy pianos, synthesizers and the Magnetic Resonator Piano.
Her work spans a wide range of sound worlds, styles and genres from
classical to contemporary art music, free improvisation, experimental
electronica and avant-pop.
