With ‘Borderless’ by The Lappetites
The Lappetites, the live electronic band comprised of Antye Greie/AGF, Kaffe Matthews and Ryoko Akama—Heroines of Sound Festival 2019 found its perfect ending. Their open, participatory structure made their performance a meeting place. A roofing slat was filmed from above and projected onto the wall. Randomly selected audience members were invited on stage, continuously filling the paper with lines, movement, noise and crossings. This audiovisual participatory performance imagined a world without borders, where people can move and meet freely. It was an interaction between different concepts, bodies and materials that took on improvised sonic and visual shapes open to reaction and change. It navigated the space between composition and performance, concept and realisation. And, just like the festival itself, it called for collective listening and action.
