Anna Homler and Tania Chen met in London a few years ago and bonded over a love of toys and the unexpected. This premiere performance will be an exuberant exploration of sonic worlds created by toys, found objects, lo-fi electronics, and alien vocalese. They will be joined by the versatile electronics wizard & percussionist Gino Robair, for an evening of improvised duos and trios.

“The work is transportative, mesmerizing, witty, sexy and intelligent. It has the power to transform the kitsch artifacts and consumer culture into something ethereal, surreal and beautiful.” – of Anna Homler, Performance Magazine

‘Raw and incandescent’ – of Tania Chen, The Wire

‘A revelation that these shifting arrangements of piano, objects, text and voice can produce ever-new configurations of feeling.’ – of Tania Chen, Frieze
