pandemonium trio is a performance research group which explores multiple instantiations of a single custom made electronic instrument through improvisation. The group consists of three highly experienced improvisers and instrument makers based at SARC, Queen’s University Belfast. Our current performance system is a synthesis of previously existing musical circuits that have been modified to promote productive instability within a restricted set of timbral possibilities. The aesthetic of our performance is informed by noise and free improvised musics. The proposed performance will be comprised of rapid and overlapping solos, duos and trios, structured both by intuition and rule-based interactions.
