Sonic Tonic Assembly

At the intersection of sonic poetry, abstracted music, and experimental Black and global feminist technologies, Sonic Tonic Assembly is a listening program of innovative sound artists using location-specific field recording as their starting point to create aural worlds. The program features presents two episodes, both of which use sound as a means for analyzing the ecological and social landscapes of Finland in a time of rapid change. A Performa and PUBLICS co-commission, co-produced with PALO Art Productions.

Gathered in New York for the first time, renowned artists AGF, Islaja, Lau Nau and Cucina Povera perform together in a dedicated event as individual artists and as a collaborative group as part of an intense sonic experience. During the one-day performance, Antye Greie-Ripatti aka AGF, Islaja, Lau Nau, and Cucina Povera will perform collectively as part of a durational relay of sonic movements and responsive interconnections across and between each artist’s work based on a dialogical process to gather together, interpret, and co-mingle with field recordings from Finland. Co-presented with Pioneer Works.
