Friday May 1, 7:30pm EST- Live! (Link in bio) Xeno & Oaklander and Scott Kiernan “Eau de Nowhere” Live concert and video performance Live chat Q&A with the artists at 8:45pm . . Microscope is very pleased to present “Eau de Nowhere,” a live concert by electronics duo Xeno & Oaklander, composed of New York based artists Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride, with visuals performed live by multi-disciplinary artist Scott Kiernan. . The event, which will be live-streamed on the microscopegallery.com website, features Xeno & Oaklander playing an approximately 50 minute set — including the premiere of a new unreleased song “Losangeur,” as well as other classic and recent songs of theirs — while live camera feeds from their studio are manipulated by Kiernan and mixed in real time with original footage. . The minimal, elegant, analog synth based songs by Wendelbo and McBride “tend to disintegrate and build themselves back up again, with the aim to conjure up a synesthetic state where a sound feels like a color and a scent.” Sharing equal dedication to analog tools, in this case video synthesizers and broadcast technologies, Kiernan provides visual compositions of the same sensibility and finesse. . This is the first online and remotely executed performance in a series of collaborations between Xeno & Oaklander and Scott Kiernan counting shows on E.S.P. TV, for Optics 0:0 at Roulette (curated by Victoria Keddie), as well as live concerts at Rough Trade and Mois Multi Festival, among others. . Kiernan, McBride and Wendelbo will be available for a Q&A via live chat following the performance. . “Shared signals and streams of images fill the watery nowhere they’re stuck inside. But, after pacing this same space for days, a few puffs of perfume in the music studio cues a reverie. Suddenly, the room has a limit. The walls become defined, and if walls… then a way past them. Jump cut > to the dream of the machines.” – SK . .
