Artist Realf Heygate performs his composition 'Beaming' at the Borlase Smart Room at Porthmeor Studios in Cornwall.

Beaming is a live composition by artist Realf Heygate, who creates music under the moniker 'Flaer'. In this work, he draws a line between three Blüthner pianos: one from his childhood in Leicestershire, one he now lives with in West Cornwall, and one that resides among the art collection in Alan Bowness's London home. Presented as part of the Ten Good Years exhibition at Heong Gallery, the performance draws out sonic moments from Heygate's interactions with each piano, seeking a meeting point between them.

Using analogue tape-looping processes, Beaming unfolds as a live collage that catalyses shifting moments of harmony, counterpoint, and serendipity. In dialogue with the Ten Good Years exhibition, it traces connections across time, place, and the people who inhabit them.

The performance will be followed by a Q&A with Flaer.

Tickets for this event are free.
