Franco-English artists Jenny Pickett and Julien Ottavi, based in Nantes, created Solar Return in 2009. Drawing inspiration from electromagnetic phenomena, they craft completely mind-blowing sound creations. Their toolkit includes modular synth scores, wild oscillators, DIY electronics, reflecting electromagnetic patterns like solar flares, urban mobile phone antennas, and even the mysterious sounds of our beloved household appliances!
During their performances, the duo dives deep into the world of frequencies, static, and sound for an extraordinary physical experience. Solar Return shows evolve with frequencies, noise crusher filters, oscillators, and waveforms, interacting each time with the surrounding electromagnetic environment. They use a VLF (very low frequency) antenna as an instrument to unveil hidden soundscapes and electrical pulses that massage our bodies daily, boosting our perception and intensifying sounds, noise, and music.

bLackPullet Grimoire is the moniker of Bay Area musician, sound artist, improviser, and composer Wayne Grim. The project fuses haunting tape-recorded voices with minimalist composition, dense sonic textures, live improvisation, and towering guitar soundscapes. It’s metal. It’s cinematic. It’s noisy. It’s electronic.
This performance marks the debut of new material from BPG’s forthcoming third release, presented alongside and inspired by 10,000 Things, a new video work by Bay Area filmmaker Phoebe Tooke.
With special guests Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough on vocals and Christopher Cornell.
