Events Description
Curated by Haotian Yu, Transoceanic traces intersections between technology and diasporic experience. In this Encounters, works from diasporic composers Corie Rose Soumah, Kotoka Suzuki, and Anthony Tan reimagine sound and light through science-fiction visions that decenter Eurocentric narratives of progress.
Soumah’s Limpidités VI layers saxophones, cowrie shells, and electronics into a sonic archaeology of the Black Atlantic. Tan’s Horizontal and Vertical Forces reimagines virtuosity through complex electronic sound, pushing listening itself into overdrive and reappropriating labour and excess as stereotypes of the Asian performing body. Suzuki’s Delicate Anticipation repurposes electric lighting to cast delicate silhouettes, drawing on Japanese aesthetics of shadow to question Western ideals of dominating light and progress. A discussion and audience Q&A with Yu will follow the performance.
Soundstreams runs free concerts all season long through their annual Encounters series, featuring expert musical performances and timely discussion, in an intimate and relaxed setting.
