Following a captivating concert as part of MUTEK MX in 2022, Alex Tibbits returns as The Bionic Harpist to present the latest iteration of her electroacoustic performance, this time in a special collaboration alongside Mexican producer Raúl Villamil aka Techno para Dos. Fran-gere, the performance they have created together, emerges right at the intersection of their instruments - an intervened harp and a Moog Matarich - to speculate on the sound of a modular harp.
For MUTEK MX Edition 20, Fran-gere will premiere its immersive audiovisual version, which expands the exploration of this modular harp recreated between Alex and Raúl to a synchronous lighting display that is also modulated from the strings of The Bionic Harpist.
MUTEK MX acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the financial support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
