Join us for an afternoon talk with Bilbao-based composer, visual artist & performer Hèctor Rey. The director of Neuni Recs, Hèctor makes subtle & detail-attentive musics with concertina, violin, no-input mixer, piano & other sounds, and is also interested in championing experimental art and music from the Basque country. On this afternoon he’ll share some of his work and the thinking and methods behind it.
Entry is free, but we encourage donations!
