Hildur Guðnadóttir

Doors: 17:00 »Osmium« is a new project from the minds of Oscar-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, Grammy-winning producer Sam Slater, Subtext boss James Ginzburg, and pioneering Indonesian vocalist Rully Shabara, of Senyawa. The four musicians assemble here to create surprising and hypnotic music using specially built instruments, finding a balance between the mechanical and the organic. As Shabara picks up on feedback sounds from the mechanised elements of the instruments to create new rhythms with his extended vocals, the »robots« themselves continue playing whether or not the instrumentalists add their own personal chaos. Heavy on percussion, and spectral timbres, the project explores how organic sounds blend into the sound of machines, and vice versa. Part of CTM Festival 2024 – Sustain www.ctm-festival.de
