Description
Arctic Circle's Daylight Music has, for over fifteen years, become an important part of London’s live music scene, with a weird and wonderful mix of musicians presenting ideas and storytelling in music and sound, alongside delicious cake, in some of the most splendid and iconic venues.
Daylight
queerings: A collaborative event series curated by composer/performer
Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser and Daylight Music - they will share exciting new music and
sound art that explores queerness in art making, gender expression and
alternative ways of being.
Maya will perform as part of new ensemble Square Music who will play American composer and activist Julius Eastman’s incredible immersive work ‘Gay Guerilla’, arranged here for the four pianists of the ensemble (Clare Spollen, Fernando Yada Rodrigues, Jay Austin Keys, Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser).
Maya
will perform a collection of solo works for piano and electronics that explore
femininity, playfulness and queering as a musical process. Joining them will be
long standing collaborator and friend Rosie Middleton (composer/performer)
whose incredible work explores artistic collaborations with other composers and
visual/movement artists.
The third invited guest for Daylight queerings is electroacoustic performer Calliope. They are a lighting designer, theatre technician and experimental composer based in Leeds, whose music explores aspects of glitch, disintegration and the queer consciousness through modular synthesis and sonic visualisations.
“Daylight Music offers a chance to just drop in, listen to some wonderful music and soak up the venue’s lovely atmosphere.” - Time Out, 101 things to do in London
