In This Now:
Music & Art Experience

Live event: Caversham Baptist Church, Saturday 15th April 2023. In This Now presents you with new ways of observing art. Whether that's collapsing multiple tempos into one piece of music, or multiple moments into one photographic frame.

 

Piano by Edward Chilvers stretches the limitations of music. Not only is this work built on an entirely new concept of poly-tempo and modal harmony, it also breaks away from western music notation altogether. His music is ever evolving and living, rather than stuck within the confines of notation and time. It fundamentally challenges how we perceive music, by redefining some of art forms basic fundamentals: notation, rhythm, and harmony.

 

Images by Talor Clarke strive toward a similar ideal. Her images create breathing space amongst the visual noise and present the viewer with new ways of seeing: to see the ethereal in the everyday and to observe the beauty of colour, form, and motion. The eye sees movement; her images freeze, warp, extend, and present movement, in a way that is visually very arresting, and conceptually very fitting with the music of Chilvers.

​

This event celebrates that art can (and should) be a transcendental experience; a meditation. Join us for a synthesis of visual and audible art that celebrates freedom and presence. Freedom to move silently around the space. To sit, lay down, stand, or dance. Freedom to listen and view in new ways. To observe the room and observe your self in it. To BE in this now.
