The evening features Felicia Atkinson's video work "Pluie," a daydream for her La La La songs, and live performances by Robbie Lee, sawako and Felicia Atkinson.

Lo-Fi artist Félicia Atkinson (1981, Paris, lives and works in Brussels) has turned her life into a large playground of experiences. The work of Felicia Atkinson is inspired by the unfinished aesthetics of Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy and lo-fi folk music. She plays in a sound project called Roman Anglais with Sylvain Chauveau, which
has a release, "Roman Anglais," on O Rosa Records. Her first solo album, "La La La" (Spekk), was released on 2008 with the help of Sylvain Chauveau and a guest guitarist, David Daniell.

 

Robbie Lee will be performing a new set based around the portative organ, a small hand-pumped medieval-style pipe organ. Expect some combination of improvised compositions, electronic deviations, old cowboy songs, and lute transcriptions. Microtonal tunings tumble into mysterious tonalities, and the whole thing sounds like nothing so much as, well, itself.

Sawako will create a dreamy audiovisual cocoon with electronic sounds and field recordings.
