Event Details
Erkki Veltheim’s Ganzfeld Experiment is a new solo concert-length work for electric violin and live-processed electronics, inspired by a parapsychology technique used to test a subject’s capacity for extrasensory perception (ESP). Veltheim recontextualises explicit tropes of this controversial process, such as the constant use of white noise, pink noise, red light and selective sensory deprivation. Veltheim performs as the ‘sender’ remaining out of sight of the ‘receiver’ audience for the entire duration of the work. Both homage and wry critique of this contested research, Ganzfeld Experiment is a highly sophisticated work of structural and aesthetic cohesiveness, from an artist at the peak of his creative power as both composer and performer. An absolute must-see-and-hear experience.
