Liquid Architecture presents a double bill of international experimental artists, Rully Shabara (Indonesia) and Ale Hop (Peru). Captivating immersive visuals, intensity and noise.

The Xhabarabot Voice Machines, led by Indonesian artist Rully Shabara (Senyawa) in collaboration with Australian artists Brian Fuata, Jocelyn Tribe and Peggy Lee will present an evening of improvisation showcasing the diverse application of AI Voice Machines. This project will play with varied methods, styles, and instruments to delve into the potential of these new technologies. In anticipation of the main event, a workshop will be conducted with the artists, to dive deep into the creative processes and techniques involved in working with Artificial Intelligence and voice. This ensemble work explores artistic possibilities inherent in the intersection of new technologies and musical expression.

'The first stage of this experiment is to prove that the human voice actually has superior sound potential if it is not dependent or bound to its parent instrument; the body. Without the body, it does not require pauses to breathe or to think. It is also not affected by mood or physical instability that weakens over time. Therefore, first and foremost, our voice must be separated from the body by turning it into data.’
– Rully Shabara

Also performing on the night is internationally renowned Peruvian artist Ale Hop. Based in Berlin, Ale is an artist, researcher, and experimental instrumentalist. Her music blends electronic and electroacoustic elements, incorporating noise, pop, avant-garde, and ambient influences. Using extended techniques for electric guitar and real-time sampling devices, she crafts performances marked by physical intensity, layered distortion, and captivating atmospheres.
