The If Wet 2014 Tour is looming large! We set off around the country on the 21st of June, for events on consecutive weekends…

The first event is at Sompting Village Hall, West Sussex, 21st June, 2-4pm – TICKETS. JOIN US.

We will kick things off as usual, demonstrating the latest work on our Giant Feedback Organ. Originally commissioned by the Southbank Centre, we have continued to develop the sounds this beast can produce and we will share these with you…

Next up, we are delighted to have Leslie Deere presenting her work.

Leslie will be talking about several projects, including an ongoing sound sculpture series, works in progress and KPPG live performance work. Her recent work in progress project, which revolves around field recordings and projected images, will be the starting point. Photographs and sounds were captured in California and Nevada last summer and she has been experimenting with analogue techniques to process the material. Deere recently transmitted some of these sounds live to a sound silo in California for her first KPPG performance. Leslie will also be talking about her ongoing time capsule project, preserving thoughts, musings and moments in time through sound.

Following on from Leslie we are delighted to have Sarah Angliss back at an If Wet.

Sarah charmed our audience when she came to the village hall we call home so it seemed like a good idea to invite her back when we were so close to her home of Brighton. She will talk about her automata and how she uses them in her live performances. She has also hinted at a couple of other pieces she would like to discuss and demonstrate. Most exciting!

Here is a recent video of Hugo to whet your appetite:

All being well, this will be accompanied by the usual local ale, grub and cake. JOIN US.
