Music on a Whim presents Twisted Circuits, a drift through a sonic borderland where familiar instruments take on unpredictable lives - stretched by tape, unsettled by electronics, and reconfigured through real time sound processing. What emerges is not a clash of traditions and machines, but a restless hybrid language that grows out of their entanglement.
Address – Le Brass Centre Culturel de Forest , Av. Van Volxem 364, 1190 Forest
Doors – 7 30pm
Tickets – €9 (early-bird); €12 pre-sales; €15 OTD
