Christopher Duffin (UK, 1983) & Teresa Winter (UK, 1986)
Directions For Knowing All Dark Things (2023) 20’ World Premiere
Teresa Winter is an independent artist from the Yorkshire coast, producing and performing experimental music working with electronics, collage and vocals. The Wire writes that she “excavates sonic memories to create narratives that sidestep time.” Christopher Duffin is a Leeds-based multi-instrumentalist and producer who has toured internationally playing synths and saxophone for artists such as Yard Act. “[Duffin] wields his sax like a flamethrower,” Pitchfork describes, “blasting open portals into unrestrained psych-jazz chaos.”
In their collaboration for hcmf//, Duffin and Winter will perform a 20-minute improvisation, combining the tones of their instruments (sax and violin/vocals respectively), extending and processing pelagic drones with electronics. As solo artists, their work often relates to the landscape and psychogeography of the English coast from where they both originate, against the backdrop of the North Sea. The comfort of the waves’ rhythms, textures and airs simultaneous with their vertiginous nature provide the inspiration for this performance.
