stripped back dramaturgical decisions = presence + decentralisation
vocalistsbodies, not was conceived to include artists shy, artists abroad, artists dead and yet others that never held a physical body. In an attempt to feature short circuit legacies and to delineate concert settings the event format deals in mediated presence and time as ingredients for live music. It's investigating how a decentralised performance practice can form new alliances and plot support for absences to resound, exemplify and stir collectively. The present/ absent artists are relaying ideas to dancers, movers and performers as well a simply guests and friends for the idea of a live concert to be extended and experimented with through collaboration.
Vaseline
new collaboration of 2 sisters making weirdo pop music pulling from an imagined nonsense world and the imaginary genre of ditsy gloom
Yuri Afasia is an artist and singer-songwriter whose music transcends cultural boundaries.
Born by the seaside in Niogata City, she carries spiritual memories beyond nationality, having special sense in the soul beyond this life and eternal love to her husband who past away in her arms.
She is drawing on Mesopotamian, Egyptian, African, and European roots to shape her music and artistic vision by blending Afrobeat, Dancehall, Amapiano, R&B, Hip Hop, and experimental soundscapes to create a distinctive style that is both powerful and deeply spiritual.
Glow-wirM is a sculptor multi-media artist and musician based in Glasgow. Making blown-out electronica, inflected with noise, techno, punk and glitch influences, rising from a backdrop of orchestral strings.
Using a pared-back setup: microphone, laptop and midi controller, their live performances are, visceral, pulsating and at times melancholic. Often using lighting, projection and sculpture to create immersive live experiences.
Arthur Poujois is a neurodivergent multidisciplinary artist working between the fields of painting, installation and performance.
In the space between stillness and impulse, image and environment, something stirs—intuitive, porous, and alive. Each work begins not with a plan but with a state: a quiet, embodied attention shaped through contemplation, trance, and meditative attunement.
From this stillness, gesture emerges—not as decision, but as response. It is a form of listening through matter, a choreography of sensation translating inner experience into material presence.
