IV29: Áine O’Dwyer & Rhodri Davies, Billy Steiger, Suzan Peeters
In vitro #29
Our next event is all about instrumentation—in relation to space, time, texture—working against and across the borders of its usual compositional confines. It is also an evening of firsts: we’ll present the debut duo performance by Áine O’Dwyer and Rhodri Davies. Two radical musicians at the forefront of improvisation, weaving together harp with elements of folk, sound art, and long-form composition.
They will be joined by violinist Billy Steiger, known as Café Oto’s sound wizard and projects such as O YAMA O and X-Ray Hex Tet, who played In vitro in 2024. He now returns with a new solo, intertwining a single-string instrument with a visual component.
Lastly, local musician Suzan Peeters presents a rendition of her debut record Cassotto, named after the small resonating chamber inside the accordion that warms, softens, and deepens its tone. The work unfolds as a deep-critical investigation of the instrument, pushing the acoustic spectrum to its limits by manipulating the interplay of the body—both human and object.
