Décalé

​​Décalé makes its first appearance at Cafe Oto with an evening of sonic and visual experiments, bringing together four artists working with moving image, live performance, improvisation, inner and outer landscapes.

Simeon Barclay will perform An Ode To a Crow — “Come on an excursion through Yorkshire, along arterial roads that bear witness to an industrial legacy, birthing a sonic heartbeat that serves as a symphony to didactic desire, memory and transformation. Through words spoken, and a sonic and visual landscape, I shall doff a hat to the purveyors of electronic pop in the region, and the high fashion that was their armour.”

Juline Hadaya’s Double Life performance will explore the entangled self suspended between two timelines: the past and the future.

Hannah Catherine Jones will present a largely improvised set, channelling grief from recent bereavements through a multi-instrumental set-up, including theremin, synthesisers, loopers, fx and samples.

Drawing from her multiple known and unknown aliases, Laila Sakini will perform a mini set utilising percussion, voice, piano, found sound, electronics and whatever’s close to hand.

Décalé is programmed by Leila Arenou, Kadeem Oak and Chooc Ly Tan.
