channelling (2022)
Channelling, from the EP Dancing with Toots Benedicta (2022), performed live for the Electric Nights experimental music festival, BuildUp at Romantso and for Fade Radio in Athens, Greece. Channelling is a 30 minute, stereo, electronic meditation on tone, specifically psychoacoustic ‘missing’ frequencies, difference and combination tones that intertwine as subtle, shifting sonic modulations.
The work, as a listening experience, questions the constitution of musical and non-musical sound – connecting dialectical debates about sameness and difference, combining monophony, polyphony and antiphony through the manipulation of a set of related frequencies derived from Carnatic Shruti Classical Indian Just Intonation tuning systems.
Programmed in SuperCollider, performed with custom built TouchOSC controller.

Space-Time: The Multiverse - our word is our bond
our word is our bond is a collaborative performance between Ain Bailey, Johnny Pavlatos and Holly Ingleton, based upon their performance score derived from histories of colonial immigration legislation. The performance of this score engages processes of narrative performativity, further derived from queer feminist theorist Lynne Huffer’s Are the Lips a Grave: A queer feminist on the ethics of sex (2013). our word is our bond emerges through a socially embedded model of reading, which by necessity, engages in and seeks to problematise the confessional scene through the demand to ‘speak the truth’ embedded within current discourses of nationality and citizenship.
