Push 1 Stop & Wiklow (live)
Push 1 stop (Cadie Desbiens-Desmeules) & Wiklow (Michael Dean) present Membrane, an algorithmic performance for transparent materials. Membrane is an artwork that merges audio-visual performance with installation art. Three-dimensional, volumetric shapes hover between the performers, caught in a haze of rising smoke. Through live manipulations, the performers engage in a playful exchange with their generative system. The work represents an alternative form of projection art, bringing digital forms into physical space.
JAY (DJ set)
JAY is a night-time thrill, an unplanned visitor, she’s a signpost that says “DESTINY”. A regular at NTS and part of the SIREN collective. Her sounds reflect her unique cultural upbringing and its reaction to the spaces and sounds around her. Heavy drums and enchanting percussion fuel her latin roots whilst hypnotic basslines, sharp, loud and bouncy kick drums enhance the excitable scottish culture. With recent productions on Higglers and Midland’s Intergraded that show a more emotional, deep side to her world, JAY’s sets always develop and groove to the mood.
