HEVLIGHT = A trio: Crystabel Efemena Riley / Nkisi / Seymour Wright
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]High-Energy Visible (HEV) light penetrates deeper into the skin than UVA and UVB rays, reaching down into the lower layers of the dermis and hypodermis, inducing oxidative stress and breaking down structural proteins.
During the late noughties, Crystabel Efemena Riley toured Japan and Europe using drums, electronics and make-up in power-noise trio Maria and the Mirrors. This was the start of her interest in patterns on skins — human and drum. An interest in dimensional patterns existing on (and off) different skin surfaces, exploring the idea of 'care and uncare': layered skins, recycled drum skins, smetled sculptures, other metallics and electronics.
Nkisi is the pseudonym of Melika Ngombe Kolongo, whose activities as a producer, live musician, DJ and curator are channels for an ongoing inquiry into sound as a tool of communication beyond the purely lingual.
Musically, this manifests in a captivating cross-talk of African rhythms, uncompromising European hard dance tropes, foreboding synth melodies and a relentless, galvanising energy.
