Above Fire Below the Lake by Partial Wave Child

Please join us for a special late opening of The London Group Open 25, alongside a concert performance of 'Above Fire Below the Lake' by Partial Wave Child in the exhibition space. Partial Wave Child is a collaboration between audiovisual artist and composer Jockel Liess LG and composer Geoixos.

*Above Fire Below the Lake* is an improvised electroacoustic performance for augmented flute by Partial Wave Child. Jockel Liess and Geoixos use a purpose-built software environment to extend the flute's capabilities, creating a seamless tapestry of live-processed, manipulated, and sampled sounds.

The performance explores a wide range of flute techniques, from breath tones to high pitch partials, blending them with live sampled electronic textures. Guided by a score outlining 12 modal areas, this piece is an indeterminate journey through a dynamic musical terrain, weaving rhythms and tonalities fluidly into an ever-evolving soundscape. Take a moment to exist alongside this piece of performance art that fuses musical concepts in seeming opposition, transforming the space into one of unpredictable beauty and tension.

A wondrously meditative experience that last for around 30 minutes where audiences are encouraged to slip into a trance that exports them into a new sensory realm, both foreign and yet extraordinarily intimate. A work that altered the edges of perception and leaves listeners staring over the corners of reality.
