Sound Junction is an electronic music event from the University of Sheffield Concerts series, that plunges audiences into a 360-degree bath of sound.
For this edition of the event, they'll be joined by artist and composer Felicia Atkinson for a special performance with piano, electronics and voice on an immersive sound system.
Félicia Atkinson interprets human voices that inhabit an ecology alongside and within things that don’t speak, in the conventional sense: landscapes, images, books, memories, ideas. The French electro-acoustic composer and visual artist makes music that animates these other possible voices in conversation with her own. She collages field recording, MIDI instrumentation and snippets of essayistic language in both French and English. Felicia has also collaborated with artists including Chris Watson and Steven O’Malley, performed at festivals including Berlin Atonal and Le Guess Who, and exhibited in many museums, galleries, and biennials.
Alongside Felicia will be Marta Domingues, a Portuguese electro-acoustic composer from Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa, studying with Jaime Reis and Annette Vande Gorne.
Friday’s concert will be a special selection of student and alumni works from the University of Sheffield Sound studios.
