The Experimental Sounding Board
Live Sonic Drawing ii

FRIDAY MARCH 1st 2013

The Experimental Sounding Board is a live drawing session in response to improvised performances. Participants are invited to engage with drawing materials, tools and sound-producing devices, exploring different forms of gesture and expression.

The aim is to create working collaborations, and a developing pool of ideas which will realise the potential for interaction between sonic and visual modes of improvisation. Although there will be some structure and planning of these workshop events, it is expected that many of the results will be generated from spontaneous and interactive creation.

A night of electroacoustic music performances exploring immersive soundscapes, high frequencies, low rumbles, reverb-drenched noise washes and drone swells through processing and programming.

Ekca Liena is a recording alias of Brighton based musician Daniel W J Mackenzie. His material combines a wide range of influences into music that has vast dynamic and timbral constrasts: delicate, melodious ambience, drones and melancholy up against doom and noise influenced intensity. In any case the music is informed by atmosphere, emotional expression and ritual, and has found it's way onto a selection of international record labels. Daniel also produces compositional and conceptual music under his real name and plays with improvising psyche / drone / noise group Plurals.
