City Distortions, live remix at Silwex Space #jaykoe and #LeonMichener #bricklane #london #klavikon City Distortions is part of an ongoing investigation around power-hungry global cities and the environment. The mirrored footage suggests an uninhabitable city – a flooded metropolis – a reflection on the ever-impending threat of climate change. The soundtrack composition, and improvisation on the live audio-visual remix version of the piece, is performed by Leon Michener (at London, United Kingdom)

Many thanks to The Quietus for this little mention.

February's Zero Wave Club will feature live music from… KLAVIKON – Leon Michener’s self-titled debut reimagining electronic dance music with a prepared piano drew admiring glances from The Wire and Dummy upon its release through Nonclassical last year. Now, Michener takes things a step further, applying his custom bolts, screws, and toys to the inside of an amplified clavichord, bringing together an instrument from the 17th century with the most advanced processing technologies of the 21st. LESLIE DEERE – Tennessee-born sculptor and sound artist Leslie Deere will be presenting a work-in-progress she is developing as part of her Music Hackspace / Sound And Music Embedded residency. Using Kinect gesture controlled technology to manipulate sounds handsfree, Deere’s performance looks and sounds like magic. SECLUDED BRONTE – "Music theatre from hell via Surrey…" A collaboration between Richard Thomas and the Bohman Brothers. FAR RAINBOW featuring JOHN DORAN – In the second of Far Rainbow's ‘backing band’ series of one-off collaborations, the cosmic improvising duo are joined by Quietus editor and Jolly Lad author, John Doran.
