Corin Ileto presents her Lux Aeterna Live AV performance featuring music from her recently released album ‘Lux Aeterna’ (UIQ) with accompanying visuals by video artist/director Tristan Jalleh.
Lux Aeterna (translation ‘Eternal Light’ in latin) is a speculative fiction named after a choral work by Gyorgy Ligeti that appears in 2001:Space Odyssey - Ileto is inspired by Ligeti's use of micropolyphony, a compositional tool in which harmonies slowly merge into one another over time, creating amorphous alien-like textures that bend and mutate. Sounds imagined as sentient beings - each sonic element taking on a life of its own. Industrial textures become embodied creatures swimming through space, like sentinels.
These themes are reflected in the visual world created by Tristan Jalleh. Apparitions of android machinations. Swirling sentinels. Debris suspended in space, momentarily forming then collapsing again into an abyss. The eternal light that already encompasses us brings us closer to the heavens.
Food on the night will be available from the popular micro-celebrity 'My Name Chef'.
Wines from Little Brunswick Wine Co.
