aya & MFO: hexed! + Violent Magic Orchestra [CTM x ICA]

CTM x ICA: aya & MFO present hexed! + Violent Magic Orchestra

British producer aya collaborates with German light artist MFO to present an audiovisual performance interweaving nerved confessional with »rave got dark.« Drawing from her new Hyperdub album »hexed!« (a genuine AOTY contender), aya's performance features autobiographical texts set to clattering beats and growling basslines, complemented by MFO's acclaimed light and visual designs. This feral collaboration has been showcased at various prominent festivals including CTM.

Japanese collective Violent Magic Orchestra (VMO) fuses howling black metal, techno, and visual art to create an intense and abyssal dance experience. Their latest work on Gabber Eleganza's Never Sleep, »DEATH RAVE« doubles down on dance mayhem, incorporating all the good stuff: claustrophobic guitars, throat-annihilating screams, frantic synth stabs and machine beats, pushing towards extra-dimensional hardcore and gabber—a unique alchemical space where the language of metal is transmutated into rave. Get ready to have your body and mind thrashed.

CTM x ICA is supported by the Goethe-Institut London.

Presented by Institute of Contemporary Arts and CTM.
