This iteration of Brickwork explores destruction as something that has the potential for regeneration. Live coding using TidalCycles, Hydra, and incorporating live vocals, this synthesis of the digital and vocal expands on the relationship between technology and performer as something that is symbiotic, playful, erroneous and against notions of rigid control. In exploring the physical space away from the laptop screen, Brickwork uncovers the potential for performance in-between live coding and live instrumentation.
Challenging the relationship between artist and tool as one that seeks to fulfil technological idealism by playing with visual, spatial and sonic dynamics, 'Destroy' seeks to simultaneously build and destroy structures of sound and textures in attempt to capture a moment that embraces paradox through playfulness. It is in this frenzy of live improvisation and costume-fueled expression that Brickwork seeks to destroy the impulse to resist destruction itself – please dance!
