An evening of live music and art celebrating Sohee Baek’s debut EP.

confluence; beginning

Where live music, film, animation and performance meet through sound, movement and image.

confluence presents an evening centred around Sohee Baek’s debut EP, beginning.

For this project, four artists were each given a different track from the EP and invited to respond to it in their own way. The result brings together film, short loop animation and live performance alongside Sohee’s original music. exploring how one piece of music can become something completely different through another artist’s eyes, body and imagination

.

Featuring new works by Moon Seungsung, Matt Trumfield, Seongjong Kim and Shea Sullivan, alongside live music by Sohee Baek and her ensemble.

An evening to listen, watch, meet and experience different forms of art coming together in one space.

This is the second gathering by confluence, an artist collective exploring the meeting points of sound, image and form through collaboration

We’d love for you to join us.
