Perila (live A/V)
By Kit Macdonald

The always reliable Music for Airports presents a live A/V set here from Aleksandra Zakharenko, aka Perila, an artist born in Saint Petersburg but based in Berlin. Zakharenko is an audiovisual artist, DJ, performer and poet whose practice explores deep listening through field recordings, voice, poetry and subtle textures and transforms sound "into a space for transformation, intimacy, and connection".
She is a co-founder of radio.syg.ma, heads Wet, collaborates across various experimental music and audiovisual projects with various artists and co-created otherspace, a generative spatial soundscape app, alongside Jordan Juras and Kristen Stokes. In her much-talked-about live A/V performances, she constructs dense, immersive sonic worlds in which her voice and delicate poetry coexist with layers of ambient music and electroacoustic experimentation. Doors are at 8.30pm and there's a warm-up DJ set from Howodd Bensonmum.
