QUADRANT v3.0

a dadageek quadraphonic spectacular

Join us in an evening of auditory exploration as we present the third iteration of QUADRANT – a quadraphonic electronic music experience that explores spatial sound performance and realtime video art. Quadraphonic sound, or sound that emanates from 4 speakers surrounding the listener, greatly expands the possibilities for immersive electronic music performances beyond the ordinary. For QUADRANT v3.0, each artist has designed a performance that activates dadaLab's 4-channel spatial audio system for a uniquely immersive sonic experience. Prepare for compositions that challenge convention, transcend stereo, and envelop your senses.

Aida + Kiou

Aida (Aida Shirazi) is an Iranian-American composer and performer of acoustic and electroacoustic music. Her works for solo voice and instruments, ensemble, and orchestra, with and without electronics, have been performed in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Latin America. As a performer, she is interested in navigating the intersection of composition and improvisation in solo and collaborative projects with artists across the disciplines.

Born and raised in Iran, Kiou is a self-thought visual artist, motion designer, and creative director. For the past 20 years, he has been charmed by the magic of motion pictures in any form. Films, sci-fi, and classical cinematography have been his main inspiration.

Alex Keller + Sean O'Neill

Alex Keller and Sean O’Neill have collaborated in performance and installation pieces since 2015. Using field recordings, vintage telephone test equipment, magnetic oscillators, light and space, their work has addressed the agents and artifacts of change in the urban and acoustic realms.

In 2017, they released an LP called Kruos on the Elevator Bath label, and a CD called LCLX on the Mimeomeme label. In 2020 they released a CD called Ando on Loma Editions.

Alex Keller is an audio artist, sound designer, curator and teacher based in Austin, Texas. His engagement with performance, installation, and recording is an outgrowth of his interest in architecture, language, abstraction and music.

Sean O’Neill is a multi-media artist, who explores both the visible light spectrum and the audible frequency range to determine how they influence our lived environments, and vice versa; he has a stated interest in how perception shapes the dynamics of spatiality.
