To mark the release of her forthcoming album, and her largest headline show in Edinburgh to date, SHHE brings a special immersive live performance of THALASSA to The Queen’s Hall.
The evening will also mark a milestone, becoming the first quadraphonic performance at The Queen’s Hall, with sound travelling across the room to create a deeply spatial and immersive listening experience. Emerging from the sonic world of the record, the performance will unfold through a bespoke modular synthesiser system, where voice and evolving electronics intertwine in shifting tides of sound.
New album ‘THALASSA’ is a six-part ambient work giving voice to the Mediterranean Sea at a moment of ecological and political crisis.
Developed following a residency in Alexandria, Egypt, the record reflects on humanity’s dependence on water and the fragile systems that govern access to it. Composed using a custom-built modular synthesiser and voice-based experimentation, the project continues Shaw’s long-term research into hydro-politics, environmental change and listening as a creative practice.
With support from special guest Isa.
Presented by The Queen's Hall
