Discussion & Concert: ~Exchange New Music Forum

This edition of the ~Exchange New Music Forum explores OCEAN, an immersive performance event recently created for the Victoria Baths by geode (Elizabeth Ditmanson & Gavin Osborn – pictured above). The creators will be in discussion with OCEAN performers The Vonnegut Collective. There will also be the premiere of two new works: ‘Vial’ by Elizabeth Ditmanson for ensemble, video and electroacoustic sound, and ‘DIIN’ by Robert Corrin for ensemble, networked laptops and electroacoustic sound.

geode is a collaborative practice encompassing multimedia installations, mixed-media performance and sound art. The Vonnegut Collective is a chamber ensemble based in Manchester, formed in 2014 by two members of the BBC Philharmonic.

Elizabeth Ditmanson is a composer, sound artist and amateur photographer who has worked with Trio Atem, Psappha and the Manchester Confucius Institute.

This event is free and runs from 3pm until 8pm. Discussion take place from 3pm, with performances starting at 7pm. There will be a licensed bar open on the day.
