CAROLINA MAUGERI (My Invisible, The Theatre of a Two Headed Calf, water(war)s) will perform SynKing, a short series of droning song-pieces. "Carolina does not differentiate between the sound of a Roxy organ, one of her instruments, and the sound of a clicking mouth, sometimes her own. In other words, the mind is the body and the body is the mind. Carolina's music is not merely interested in freewheeling expression, i.e. noisemaking, though that is happily part of it. Her arrangements move with emotion (anger, sadness, happiness – all of it) that stir its listeners out of complacency" – Stan Mir.
