oxhy

oxhy is a musician from London making songs about the sublime. 2021 saw the release of their debut album ‘woodland dance’, an imagining of the future’s lost folk songs. Through music that oscillates between guttural scream and forgotten love song oxhy paints a weird picture, one that part of you might relate to. Their live performances are an attempt towards the ecstasy of group ritual.

Severin Black

Running the experimental label and event series Archaic Vaults, Severin Black has been forming a worldwide community around marginal music since 2020. Their live practice centres around the sonic spectrums of ethereality and dissonance, primarily using woodwind and feedback improvisation. This has led to collaborations with Pavel Milyakov, Flora Yin-Wong, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Vanessa Bedoret, Chantal Michelle and Owen Pratt, performing in spaces such as the ICA (London), Volksbühne Theater (Berlin), Le Poisson Rouge (New York), Mission To Seafarers (Melbourne) and on a giant pipe organ in a north-east London church.

For this event, there will be a one-off performance of Severin Black's Country Music featuring special guests.

Zeynep Ağcabay

Born and raised in Istanbul, Zeynep Ağcabay's music explores the juxtaposition of Eastern and Western influences on their identity. Growing up with traditional Turkish music playing at home, Zeynep went on to discover new roots in London. Their experimental approach aims to discover a unique blend of these two sonic worlds by composing unusual structures of abstract percussions, ambiguous vocals, ambient soundscapes mixed in with instruments inspired by Turkish ney, kanun, davul and darbuka. Their first release was part of the label Archaic Vaults cassette compilation ‘Continuing a Worn Out Tradition II', released in July 2021.
