Retrievals: New Music for Old Tech

Canadian violinist Arlan Vriens presents Retrievals, a retro-flavoured night of new music for old technology, featuring new works for violin and electronics by Tsz Long Yu ("Room", 2025) and James Lowrie ("Media Fidelity", 2025), alongside Alvin Lucier's "Clocker" (1978), performed by Tim Roth, for electronics, clock, and galvanic skin response sensors. Expect 90s living room vibes, static, street lights indoors, an ice-fishing camera shaped like a fish, and very much more. Come to the pre-concert chat to learn the Very Serious Academic Reasons for this madness, or just come at 7:30 for the show and see what you think.

Pre-concert chat at 7:00pm
