Real-time modular synthesis and evolving beat foundations create a transfixing sonic journey. Sound and movement are anchored to each other, introspectively reacting and evolving through a continuous form. Moments of euphoria emerge out of and supersede the mundane. Forms align, hyperextending into a blurry dissonance before snapping back into sublime harmony.
POLITO X VISUAL DISPLAY is a collaboration between musicians Robert Downie and Finn Langham and performers Arabella Frahn-Starkie and Hillary Goldsmith, all recent graduates from the Victorian College of the Arts. Downie and Langham formed Polito after finding a common interest in creating hypnotic techno with a strong musical emphasis. Langham's background is in video game composition and disco music, while Downie creates dreamy psychedelic pop under the alias Uncle Bobby. Frahn-Starkie and Goldsmith were dreaming of ways for contemporary dance to be consumed in a similar context to live music. From there, the collaboration began. By fusing the forms, it is in the hopes of the artists to strike a balance. A symbiosis of sound and movement. Bringing the club to the theatre and the theatre to the club.
This performance is presented as part of Critical Mass.
