Sink: Simona Castricum and Carla Zimbler 2021

Sink reimagines the experience of stadium techno, stripping back to minimal elements of percussion and projection to create an intimate, immersive relationship between audience and performer.

In the endlessly expanding horizon of Australian experimental music, Simona Castricum has carved out a position at the very edge of what's next. Here she combines her talents with the light and projection sorcery of Carla Zimbler to create a live sonic experience of uncommon depth.

Informed by Castricum's background in architecture, the pair will construct a percussive and visual exploration of queer spatial production in hostile urban environments. Sink adopts the grid-like structure of the neo-liberal city before breaking the square through tactics of garble and feedback, creating a new transient space. The result is a conversational performance that destabilises normative binary frameworks of the city, moving beyond rigid opposites to become fluid.
