"Live performance"
An unexpected artistic encounter between two completely different musicians results in a sonic-visual performance that emerges from the phantasms of the natural environment and the power of raw beats. The duo began their collaboration as part of the Europalia Festival in 2019 and developed their ideas over the years, with concerts in Germany, Belgium and Romania. Laura Lot and Andrew Hulme produced a series of video loops specifically to accompany the music. Elizaveta Petchniouk is VJ and mixes them live with her own created loops to the music.
