ICYMI: Lauren Sarah Hayes with Freida Abtan
Thursday, October 13 at 7:30pm, come to the IDeATe Media Lab (HL A10A) for an evening of electronic music improvisation by Lauren Sarah Hayes with CMU's own Freida Abtan.
Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish improviser and sound artist. Her music is a mix of experimental pop/live electronics/techno/noise/free improvisation and has been described as ‘voracious’ and ‘exhilarating’. She is a sculptress of sound, manipulating, remixing, and bending voice, drum machines, analogue synths and self-built software live and physically. She is excited by what can happen in the vulnerable relationships between sound, space, and audience.
Deemed an "audiovisual sorceress", Freida Abtan is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist and musician inspired by sensory immersion. Her music ranges from acousmatic composition to more industrial and pop-influenced experimental anthems. Both as a solo artist, and as a floating member of the renowned experimental music group Nurse with Wound, she has toured her music and visuals internationally.
This event is free and open to the public.
