Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
