The UK Young Artists Leicester
Festival set to light up the city with creative talent from across the UK
Three days of exhibitions,
performances, installations, gigs, poetry and workshops take place across the city at established
venues and independent spaces.
Of particular interest for MTI/MTP:
Joe Snape – Lärmlicht #5
A music performance that takes place
in the dark. Set against their own amplified sounds and accompanied by a
warped ensemble of celesta and vibraphone, six incandescent light bulbs flicker
and bloom into life. With each flash painstakingly programmed on a machine
built from scratch, materials are arranged, cued and manipulated in live
performance: the seen and the heard strain against each other to fuse in a
single audiovisual event. Sharp impulses, electrical bursts, afterimages and
delay lines fold into one another, brutal and reflective by turns. The work was
first performed in spring 2014 at Café Oto and The Kitchen.
Friday 7 November – De Montfort University (PACE
Building) – 5.30pm and 9.30pm

Four-piece Plynth
will perform a 40-minute audio visual performance featuring live
instrumentation and spontaneously generated visuals. Each of the participants
are artists within their own right and will be coming together for this
occasion to create something extraordinary, creating an uplifting ambience of
spontaneity, delicate sonics and poetic expression, blurring the boundaries
between sonic and visual arts.
Featuring David Hepple (Guitar), Glen Hicks (Bass), Tom Harris AKA
Thomasthinks (Beats, Keys, Voice) and Will Pettipher (Visuals, Saxophone).
