DNIT: Aleksi Perälä & Marta Verde - Quadraphonic AV Show
By Kit Macdonald
Aleksi Perala has been making music since 1988, playing it live since 1996 and has released more than 100 albums, on formats as diverse as USB card, vinyl postcard and wire recording. Since 2013 he has been using the Colundi frequencies, a tuning system discovered and curated by Perala's friend and collaborator Grant Wilson-Claridge, as the basis of his music.
The Colundi frequencies are hard to explain, but the important thing to know is that they have led Perala to produce the finest, most intricate electronic music of his career, sometimes at a rate of an album every two weeks. The best way of understanding it all is to listen to the records and see him use the system live, keeping this quote from a 2015 interview in mind: "You know that feeling when you hear a really amazing song and your hairs go up on your body? Colundi is that feeling all the time. It's... it's so amazing. So amazing."
This AV show will be a collaboration with the digital and visual artist Marta Verde. Marina Herlop and Busa play a b2b DJ set in the cafeteria at 8pm, with Perala and Verde's set coming at 10pm in the auditorium.
