MSHR sound, light, sculpture - Feb 21 and 22

MSHR is a collaborative project by Birch Cooper and Brenna Murphy, from Oregon. The duo produces installations, sculptures and ritualistic performances that place the human body into a dynamic relationship with sound and light, generating expanded sensory experiences.

MSHR's live performances currently revolve around a unique system of light-audio feedback that employs hand made synthesizers and sculptural interfaces. The duo insert themselves into the system, sitting in the centre of the array and steering the feedback patterns by shifting sculptural sensors.
