SYNC perform 'Critical State'

SYNC perform ‘Critical State’ - Alison Isadora/Jan-Bas Bollen

In their new performance Critical State, Jan-Bas Bollen (NL) and Alison Isadora (NZ/NL) explore a sonic environment that slowly shifts between evolving textures and moments of unpredictable audio disruption, responding to their audio surroundings through a combination of improvised and composed material.
