Xperiment >L

Xperiment >L is a monthly series about women in electronic music live performances, film/video screenings, discussions & workshops. This months gathering is Friday 10 september, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands featuring AGF+SUE.C with electronic poetry & live video. AGF is in love with language, poetry, communicating impressions and experiences, and views our society of today in a philosophical but also a politically critical way. Her most recent project 'Westernization Completed' is a refined and fascinating mix of text (spoken and sung) and electronic music, giving you the feeling you're introduced to a highly personal, self-created universe. Sue Costabile in her turn likes to mix the organic with the synthetic, analogue techniques with digital processes. With these images projected on a large format, the monumental church space of Arminius might even be transformed for a while into this personal and very special universe of AGF+Sue C. The night is in cooperation with Arminius (opening of season) and the TRACER-festival of TENT. and Witte de With ( www.arminius.nu ) and http://www.cbk.rotterdam.nl/TENT
