DOUBLE BILL: Plus Minus and Komuna Collective

The first half of this double bill opens with a post-minimalist work by Michael Gordon, written for the Kronos Quartet in 2010. Next, Komuna Collective performs Visitant, a new piece by Imogen Davey loosely inspired by Electronic Voice Phenomena, spirit boxes, and electromagnetic field detection. The set concludes with extracts from Adam Possener’s album released last year, featuring music for string quartet and electronics that blends influences from Bach to Beyoncé and Internet culture.

In the second set, vocalists Peter Falconer and Francesca Fargion join Plus Minus for two song sets. Fargion’s pieces embody artificial voices, exploring the space between real and imagined performance, celebrating how dreams and intangible mental images are unique to human imagination. Each of Sellwood’s songs is paired with a flash fiction story (under 300 words) by Rose Biggin and Keir Cooper, weaving together fictional events, stretched language, interventions in systems of living, and art-historical fable.
