Quo Vadis presents an evening of evocative soundscapes via a trio of live acts who push the boundaries of machine manipulation mixed with the tenderness and fragility of humanism and organic instrumentation
Alessandro Cortini [live A/V]
51717 [live]
OMPHALOS [live with accompanying dance performance by Veronica Santiago Moniello
OMPHALOS
Core team member Mike Amacio steps out from behind the mixing console to return to the QV stage with his band member Matthew Robinson as Omphalos. As a duo, they weave ethereal and complex electronic and cello-based textures together that conjure otherworldly hinterlands
VERONICA SANTIAGO MONIELLO [Habitual]
Verónica Santiago Moniello, is a Venezuelan-Italian choreographer and dancer currently based in the south of Mexico. She holds an M.F.A. Master of Fine Arts in the Theatre & Dance Program at UCSD, the University of California, San Diego (U.S.) and a B.A. in Dance Making by the Folkwang Universität der Künste, Essen (Germany), where she worked on Pina Bausch’s “Le Sacre Du Printemps” répertoire. Her practice is inspired by the notions of memory and the idea of birth, antagonist subjects of resistance, and dreams. In 2017 Verónica founded Habitual, a platform-based studio that explores the possibilities of movement within contemporary cultural practices. Her projects have been presented in Mexico, Venezuela, Belize, Germany, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Spain and the U.S. Cosmographia in collaboration with Jaekyung Jung. Commissioned by Seoul Urban Art Project, Seoul is Museum, Seoul Metropolitan Government, South Korea 2019
51717 [LIES Records]
Tensile hesitations and foreboding passages run through Lili Schulder’s oeuvre as 51717, from releases on Silent Servant’s Jealous God label to her more recently released LP on L.I.E.S. at the beginning of the year. Shadowy and granular voices decay and dart across these introspective compositions in unnervingly enchanting ways, and her live performances also explore these intimate realms that tussle between beauty and discomfort
ALESSANDRO CORTINI [Mute Records]
Celebrating the release of his stunning new LP, “Volume Massimo,” sonic maestro Alessandro Cotrini returns for his second QV performance with a powerful new A/V show. Analogue dissonance and traditional composition flows through hardware synthesis and guitar motifs in ways that stretch concepts of time and memory. Those familiar with his previous solo works, as well as his experiences within the NIN touring band, know what a treasure it is to see Cortini play live; and we are beyond delighted to present him again as he transforms Good Room into an immersive and deeply personal journey through his own life experience and depths of emotion
