Lola de la Mata 'Oceans on Azimuth' Album Launch + special guest Maria Chávez

Hosted by the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, experimental Composer Lola de la Mata presents an exhibition of musical sculptures for her Debut Album 'Oceans on Azimuth', alongside special guest Abstract Turntablist, Sound Artist and DJ - Maria Chávez.

Sound will be provided by the wonderous Isa, along with tech support from Eduard....yes- the IKLECTIK dream team!

An Avant-garde Auditory Odyssey Into Tinnitus - Lola’s compositions feature sonic landscapes crafted from throbbing heartbeats and tinnitus phantoms. Translated forms of hearing and listening are explored throughout the project in collaged poems which ricochet amongst field recordings, prepared string instruments, a Claravox theremin, an ear canal shaped gong, and other glass inventions. The project features collaborations with biophysicists A.J.Hudspeth and Francesco Gianoli, and resident musicologist Lana Norris from The Hudspeth Laboratory of Sensory Neuroscience, NYC.

The night will feature a talk with Jono Heale, Director at ACS (custom musician earplugs) around Tinnitus and Aural Diversity.

+ a 'record your ears' booth, in the hopes to capture spontaneous emissions from the cochlea of attendees.
