Wednesday 10 May 2023, 7pm, OTO Project Space
Excited to throw open the doors of the OTO Project Space to the public for a first show here since 2020! This stacked line-up brings together Project Space regulars for an evening of weird things, nice things and other things.
Please BYOB as there is no bar. Toilets are accesible through Cafe OTO. There is a wheelchair ramp to the Project Space.
Luciano Maggiore is a Palermo-born, London-based musician whose work is characterised by the use of speakers and several analogue/digital devices (samplers, CD players, walkmans, tape recorders) as well as acoustic objects and addresses the performativity of the musical act, the perception of it, and the obscurity that emanates from it.
His main interests include mechanisms of sound diffusion, performance, repetition, endurance, non-human animal languages, dance, and folklore.

Rory Salter is based in London, working mostly with sound and performance, as a musician and sound technician. Recordings are available via Index Clean, TEETH, Research Laboratories, Zoomin' Night & others. A new album 'a sky cold as clay' is out now on Infant Tree.
Ash and Jackson have been collaborating together for over 10 years, working with scores, text pieces and action based performances that address class and gender in relation to where they grew up. Recent performances have included Cafe OTO, The Fruit Market and Hundred Years Gallery.
Regan Bowering is a percussionist, improviser and sound artist based in London. Her solo work explores various combinations of drums and percussion, objects, amps, speakers, and feedback. Her debut album “Solos for _ _ _ _ Spaces” (Dec 2023 on Bezirk Tapes) was described as “a play of contrasts, contradicting voluminous expressions with confined phrases, taming resounding feedback with faint percussive flutters, but one that feels driven by the desire to craft electrifying drama rather than pure autotelic dissonance.” (The Quietus). She is one third of a collaborative project with Li Song and Conal Blake, with two releases: “2 Movements” (Feedback Moves, 2024) and "Music for Snare Drums and Portable Speakers" (Infant Tree, 2023). Her debut LP “A Technology of Feeling” was released January 2026 on Infant Tree.
Zara Joan Miller is a British/Iranian artist working across poetry, performance and film. Her writing often situates itself in communal time(keeping) and space before taking root in the private body. BLUE MONDAY was published by JOAN Publishing in 2022 and her second book of poetry Year of the Dragon is forthcoming with TACO! Recent solo performances draw from ongoing research into abjection, lactation and personal ancestry. Her work has recently been presented at Ann Arbor Film Festival, Barbican Centre, Maximilian William Gallery, Les Atelier Claus, Horse Hospital, In Vitro, Default Den Haag and has appeared in motor dance journal, Fieldnotes journal, Hotel, Another Gaze and Worms Magazine. Blue Monday was also released as a duo LP with Ute Kanngießer on New York label Reading Group in 2023.
