CRIPPLED SYMMETRIES Festival - patterns in contemporary music

In "Re/Set," Petra Strahovnik processes her experience of the long Covid pandemic, while Tristan Perich creates pulsating, complex structures from 1-bit sound. Bumki Kim, Eunseon Yu, Gyu Bong Yi, and Seil Oh draw on the shamanic good tradition of the port city of Busan, and AnA Maria Rodriguez & Juan Felipe Waller explore the cyclical from the perspective of upcycling.

The RETAMA Women Composers Collective translates indigenous rituals into contemporary contexts, Zesses Seglias explores the gong as a sound instrument, and the trio Cube Band is given carte blanche with works by Kee Yong Chong, Ying Wang, Deqing Wen, and Chin-Hsien Chun.
