Sote & Tarik Barri present Majestic Noise
(Live A/V)

He/him + He/him — IR + NL
Saturday 18 June — MACA

In their new collaboration Majestic Noise, developed during the pandemic isolation of 2020 and 2021, Sote and Tarik Barri create mesmerising audiovisual worlds where the theme of isolation plays an important part. Isolation as aggression, as sadness, as resignation and as insanity, but never without beauty which remains the engine that moves us forward. Sote and Tarik Barri portray these feelings from their own perspectives as well as how they've witnessed this manifestation in fellow humans, victims, oppressors, loved ones and lost ones alike. 

Sote (IR)
Ata ‘Sote’ Ebtekar composes music with a deeply-held conviction that rules and formulas should be deconstructed and rethought. He alters musical modal codes from their original tonality and rhythmic tradition to achieve vivid, synthetic soundscapes. Over the last three decades, his work has been published by labels such as Warp, Sub Rosa, Opal Tapes, Diagonal, Mute and Morphine, among others.

Tarik Barri (NL/DE)
Over the past 10 years, Tarik Barri has developed an unique aesthetic signature in audiovisual performances and the development of his own software tools. In addition to his own work (in sound and image), he has become internationally known through long-term visual collaborations with leading artists such as Monolake, Thom Yorke, Nicolas Jaar – and more recently together with Sote.
