Returning to Lights On the Exchange is the second edition of Sound Like Light, the festival’s signature live event, where music, sound, and light collide.
This year we’re taking over Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall’s Sound Bites Room for an immersive evening of pulsating beats, live sound art, musical performance, and dynamic DJ sets, augmented by live digital projections by festival curators Manufacturing Entertainment.
The evening will be anchored by music selections from a roster of DJs, featuring Wanda G, DJ Suraj, and DJ Hunnicutt, and will feature live performances by Compost (MB) and Colby Richardson (ON).
Compost is nutrient rich music for a healthy body and mind. It’s the grit and grind of deep bass and decomposing blown up beats from which flowery keyboards blossom. The instrumental trio, composed of Julian Beutel, Eric Roberts and Justin Alcock, references ’90s beatmakers and European electronic music, cycling between movement and meditation.
Colby Richardson is a media artist, experimental filmmaker, and sound artist currently based in Toronto, Ontario. He’ll be closing out the evening with Dimmer Switch, a performance for sound and light that takes advantage of the inability of compact fluorescent light bulbs to properly dim. Exposed guitar cables are placed near and in between the bulb’s flickering coils to transform the electrical bursts into a range of percussive and piercing sounds.
This event is ages 18+
Don’t miss an unforgettable collision of light, sound, and movement.
