KNITRONICA

Sunday 23rd Feb at Big Hands Manchester , 1pm – 7pm

 

An interesting event coming up – a live experiment in a Manchester music venue working with knitting and sound, where I will be exploring the parallels between machine knitting and the Tenori-on. The event has been organised by Sam Meech who I am thrilled to be working alongside.

 

Sam has already explored a lot through knitting which you can see more of here. We will also be joined by knitter Iris Cooper. The event is part of the Whitworth Art Gallery Pub Crawl – a series of arts events in unusual spaces across Manchester.

 

It will be a textiles experiment, working with live music, sampled sound and knitting machines.  A unique ‘band’ comprised of  Tenori-on, a macbook, a hacked Brother 950i knitting machine, and possibly a couple of other music making devices,  producing cross-over sounds and stitches. Exploring the parallels between punchcards and musical structures, electronic sequencing and the knitted digital image.
