Peiriant summon an assured degree of mystique which can lull and intrigue in equal measure. The duo deploy a sequence of haunting soundscapes which can attract the curiosity of those familiar with their work and new listeners alike. Coupling a sonorous, often unnerving, enlistment of the violin with a flexible command of the electric guitar, the pair unfold into an unvarnished sense of avant-garde artistry.

Peiriant are a duo of violin and electric guitar, who play with melody and tonality to create atmosphere and soundscape. Electronic equipment, samples and found objects also add to their semi-improvised pieces, which are spun from grounded ideas.

Rose and Dan Linn-Pearl draw from their foundation in folk and classical training in addition to post-rock, minimalism and sound art to weave experimental music that is anchored in the Welsh landscape.

They will perform pieces from their recent critically acclaimed album PLANT and as well as tracks from DYCHWELYD, a record which awarded them The Guardian’s ‘Folk Album of the month’.

Thorn Wych is a musician based in Lancashire, who crafts her own instruments from native UK tree branches. Her pieces feature bowed string instruments, flutes and percussion, which she manipulates through pitch-bending glitches and delay pedals to create strange atavistic hymns that evoke memories of a world existing beyond the boundaries of the material realm.

Zhuo Mengting (b. Guangzhou, China, 1990) searches for liveness through what comes between. Across live art, participatory installations, concerts and relational curation, she composes situations where distance, silence and partial access become conditions for encounter.

With a background in literature, critical theory and indie music, she works as much with language as with what remains unspoken. She studied Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London, where she is now based, and has presented work across the UK, Europe and East Asia, including Whitechapel Gallery, South London Gallery, Cafe OTO, Tai Kwun Contemporary, BY ART MATTERS, MAO Torino and the Prague Quadrennial.
