NACHT II

Nacht II is an immersive experience led by three international masters of creativity, where powerful live vocals, electronic soundscapes and generative visuals converge to create a world in which sound and light transform the senses.

Featuring:

Loïc Varanguien de Villepin — countertenor vocalist and poet

Franck Vigroux — composer, producer and sound artist

Antoine Schmitt — generative video artist

Energizing and invigorating audiences across Australia and New Zealand on their national tour, this musical project will be presented in Lutruwita/Tasmania at Moonah Arts Centre for one evening only.

NACHT II is an invitation to watch three virtuosic artists collaborate to express the idea of transformation. Haunting vocals – from lyrical to guttural – are layered over electronic music – abrasive to atmospheric – and accompanied by minimal, monochromatic generative images, projected onto a large screen to complete this immersive audio-visual world.

A synesthetic and contemplative proposition, this is a physical, sensory experience where the environment, landscape and elements create an inexhaustible source of inspiration and creativity.

Joining NACHT II will be special guest VARX – the trance-driven solo project of Bek Varcoe. VARX provides a blaze of immersive, live electronic sound – built using a suite of analogue gear to loop beats, found sounds and improvised vocals.
