Inspired by optical phenomena occurring while viewing the color panels of abstract painter Blinky Palermo, Byron Westbrook's Translucents explores the concept of "audio after-image". The work presents a series of audio scenes, with the intention of imprinting on the listener's mind in order to influence the way each consecutive scene appears. It is a play with memory, presence, and with time, experimenting with dynamics between perceiving presence in the space where one is listening vs the perception of an external space or place. For this concert, Translucents is presented in an expanded immersive form that differs from its published release. 

On the release of their new album Aerobica F.A., Mitchell Keaney and Paola Lesina's project Tibi Group will open the evening with a live interpretation of the record

First emerging from within New York’s experimental music scene nearly two decades ago and now based in Los Angeles, Byron Westbrook weaves intricate tapestries of sonority bridging the worlds of sound art, installation, avant-garde electronic music and synthesis. He works between immersive installation formats and music performance, utilizing a wide array of sound design, synthesis techniques and field recordings. Westbrook’s practice approaches sound in a structural way, where the architecture of a listening space becomes a key collaborator in his concerts. His work has been presented internationally at institutions and festivals such as the Biennale Son, Walker Art Center, ICA London, MOCA Los Angeles, MoMA PS1, MaerzMusik, Akousma and Rewire Festivals, as well as residencies with Headlands Center, Civitella Ranieri Foundation, ISSUE Project Room, EMS Stockholm along with highly acclaimed releases on imprints like Shelter Press, Important Records, Root Strata, Hands In The Dark, Umor Rex, and Ash International. He currently hosts Chromatic Fields on dublab radio, a monthly program exploring overlap in ideas between music making and visual arts practice. 

Tibi Group (USA–DE) is a newborn performance and art collective, conceived by its founding nucleus as an open site for evolving practices and membership. Its work spans collage, spoken word, movement, amplified objects, print, and improvisation.
