Saltings brings together three Bristol-based musicians who will perform a semi-improvised mixture of cello, double bass and live programming that coalesce into distorted polyphony, ominous drones and unexpected melodies. For this unique performance BEEF artist Laura Phillips will collaborate with the group to create an audio-visual ensemble of live image manipulation and improvisation. Layered with shifting imagery taken from a screen reading device used by partial-sighted readers, the performance explores the complexity of resonance and incongruence between sound/image to educe a sense of enigma and decentralisation. How do we come to know an object, its temperament, texture, colour, hue and smell?
