Live performance of The Invisible Hand at CCA Glasgow 09/05/2024 as part of Cryptic Nights.

A 17 minute sound art performance using eight looper pedals and sound sculptures made from litter and found objects. No effects were used, instead the inherent resonance of the objects was allowed to speak. The objects were played using feathers, animal bones and broken piano parts. The sound was captured using contact mics.

The Invisible Hand is a metaphor used by Adam Smith to extol the unintentional virtues of capitalism. That idea is turned on it’s head to refer to capitalism's toxic over-production and waste. The title also relates to the use of looper pedals.
