Radial 2
Friday, July 9, 2021
169 Bowery NYC
7:30 pm

Radial is a performance series exploring the intersection of live sonic art, electronic music and emerging expressions in sound and subculture. Born out of the desire to hear adventurous sound-system music in a focused listening environment where both the creator and audience’s norms are challenged. Curated by Kamran Sadeghi and Julia Govor.
Inward Towards The Center is a premiere of a hybrid set guided by the question: “if a sound is healing you, can it serve the purpose of healing others?” The gallery set is focusing on sounds recorded inside Bell Labs Anechoic Chamber that incorporate Antenes’ own processed binaural recordings, designed to be heard outside of the headphones-only experience.
Music for Modular Synthesizer, Dim Lamp and One Developing Melody will be performed by Qasim Naqvi.
