As the opening to the Sonic Acts Biennal 2022, a hefty club event will take place at OT301 on the 30th of September. Flashing Horizons “seeks to offer a glimpse at the Horizon, its bright lights guiding us in a fraught state of crisis.” The lineup includes the likes of Kai Whiston, Aikiko Haruna, Soda Plains and more.
After two long years Sonic Acts has returned to us in an expanded form, that of the biennale. From the 30th of September to the 23rd of October. This biennial will take place across different location; which include: W139, Zone2Source in Amstelpark, and HetHem in Zaandam; We are being given the opportunity to see how Sonic Acts “advances experimentation and provides a podium for dynamic perspectives, which can in turn be tools for discovery, growth, development, and emancipation.” This opportunity will come in the form of an Exhibition: one sun after another, a three-day Sound Art programme: Inner Ear(th) and a Symposium: Leaving Traceswhich all are accompanied by installations, workshops and artist presentations.
For this event there are limited free tickets for Subbacultcha members. Members can make a reservation by sending an email to mailinglist@subbacultcha.nl with ‘Flashing Horizons’ in the subject line + your name in the email. Non-member can purchase tickets here. The RSVP list closes on Friday, September 30th, at 13.00,
Kai Whiston
British producer and experimental artist Kai Whiston epitomises this dichotomy, specialising in romanticism, amplified world building and post-genre sound design. He joins us for a live performance fresh off the back of his new album release Quiet As Kept, F.O.G.
Akiko Haruna
Akiko Haruna, producer, vocalist and performer, pushes at the boundaries of raucous pop, club-ready percussion, dense electronics and expansive soundscapes with euphoria and poise.
Soda Plains
Soda Plains’ productions take up elements of 1990s trance and breakbeat, marrying euphoric vocals with dizzying drops and lithe percussion.
Ausschuss
Marked by mesmeric forays into experimental production and challenging soundscapes, the music of Ausschuss seeks to reshape the club – not simply as a dancefloor – but as a space to inhabit.
Async Figure
Async Figure is a collaboration between London and Glasgow based artists MM & Suda, wrenching meaning and honesty from the most absurd trance-inflected chords and arpeggios.
Soft Break
Rotterdam based Soft Break’s sets soar to 160 bpm, moving through gentle vocals, techno, footwork and hip-hop to sub-destroying bass.
Séverine
DJ and producer séverine’s work traverses the familiar and the far-flung – absorbing and sublimating sounds and sensations from deep within and high above.
April222
April222’s love affair with music centres on genres pioneered by black artists, including Jersey club, rap, hiphop, RnB and afrobeat, regarding their practice as a DJ as a testament to the beauty of black art.
