Concert
MAFFE KATTHEWS & FEENEY/RAWLINGS DUO
Maffe Katthews @ Goethe-Institut Boston
Non-Event and the Goethe-Institut Boston are pleased to present the first Boston concert by the sound artist Maffe Katthews in over 20 years, and a rare performance by the duo of Tim Feeney and Vic Rawlings
About the artists
Maffe Katthews is a pioneering music maker who works live with space, data, things, and place to make new electroacoustic composition. Site, accessibility and the physical experience of this music has always been central to her approach and so she has also invented some unique interfaces – the sonic armchair, the sonic bed and a variety of sonic bikes which enable new paths into composition for makers, and ways in to listening for wide ranging audiences.
Tim Feeney and Vic Rawlings have performed as a duo since 2005. Their music explores an unpredictable relationship with making sounds, achieved by elaborate preparation of acoustic soundboxes, such as drums or cello, and expanded via original electronic instruments, ranging from naked circuitboards to amplified kitchen objects. They focus on the metamusical potential of unstable sounds and silences, exploring austere combinations of sound and the otherworldly ripple effects that pulse through a silent space or alert ears.
