Baltazar’s Adventure through the Great Machine 
In early May 2019, composers working in the city of Sheffield recorded sounds in and around the Kelham Island Industrial Museum, using these to create musical works that resonate with the space and place of Kelham Island. In much the same way as one might imagine the transformation of the spaces of heavy industry, such as Brooklyn Works becoming residential accommodation, the ten sound artists transformed the sounds of Kelham Island, giving them a new home. 
This piece imagines the huge machines as if from a child-like fantasy. It follows the journey of fiction character - Baltazar - as he travels into, and through, the greatest machine of all.  Join Baltazar as he journeys through the Great Machine in search of its beating, mechanical heart. As the machine judders and splutters into life, will he avoid the pistons and valves, cogs and bursts of steam?  Warning: contains scenes of mild peril.

For Ozzy, Zac, and Kaia. 


Adam Stanović started composing electronic music some twenty years ago. At that time, early experiments with tape machines and a four-track mini-disc recorder led him discover the potential of recorded sounds, and he quickly started using computers as a tool for music-making. Ever since, Adam has considered the fixed medium as a canvass for his works which, although mostly acousmatic, are sometimes accompanied by instruments, electronics, film, and animation. In all cases, his music explores ways in which both pitch and noise coexist within recorded sound, with musical form often delivering one from the other. Adam’s music has been heard in over 400 festivals and concerts around the world. His works are available on 12 different CDs.

Darksmith - Imposter CD (Excerpts)

“In the first year of the pandemic, I started creating with and occasionally recording my modular synth at the end of the day between nine and ten at night. It was my way of decompressing and tuning out the stress of that period. Most of these tracks came out of that ritual of exploring my instrument. I usually only record something if the sound produces the same level of joy and excitement that I received from the process of discovering it, and I usually only release something if I feel that months later the recording is still interesting once the memory of and tactile imprint of the creative act is gone.” - JJR

The whole play of Merve Salgar and Anil Eraslan is to create this crystalline bridge where the listener melts in the contrast between simultaneity and agitation, between orthodox forms and contemporary contents.
