About the Artists
Jules Reidy makes song cycles which abstractly deal with devotional love, transcendence, and death of the self. They use materials such as guitars, voice, percussion and found sounds, deconstructing and augmenting them through non-standard tuning systems, polyrhythmic structures, electronic processing and spatialisation. They aim to express and invoke states of uncanniness, dissociation, dys/euphoria, imagination, and void.
They’ve released on Editions Mego, Black Truffle, Shelter Press and Longform Editions. Their next record comes out later this year. They are originally from Australia, and are currently based in Berlin.
crys cole is a Canadian sound artist based in Berlin whose work includes composition, improvised performance and sound sculpture/installation. Working with subtle and imperfect sounds often generated through haptic gestures and seemingly mundane materials, she creates texturally nuanced works that continuously retune the ear. Cole has performed extensively worldwide in solo and collaborative contexts, working with an array of artists including Annea Lockwood, Tetuzi Akiyama, Francis Plagne, Leif Elggren as well as in ongoing duos with Oren Ambarchi, and with James Rushford as Ora Clementi.
Her work has been published by Black Truffle, Penultimate Press, Ultra Eczema, Second Editions, Boomkat, Bocian, Another Timbre, Students of Decay, and Infrequency editions. She has exhibited in Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, the UK and Thailand. Her most recent solo album Making Conversation was released in the fall of 2024 on Black Truffle Records.
This performance is presented by Non-Event and the Goethe-Institut Boston.
