Appearing at hcmf// for the first time, Europe’s premiere guitar quartet Zwerm perform a three-sonic tableaux by Christopher Trapani, Joanna Bailie and Alexander Schubert in which the electric guitars create complex sounds with little movement, acting as a sort of ‘pythagorian curtain’. The performers are stripped of most of the visual theatrics that go with a live performance, shifting the action more towards the ear and the act of listening. The ear is the centre, vision is obscured, and immersion is the key word.
