Lynette Quek is an audiovisual artist from Singapore, currently based in York (UK). Through various experiences, she has handled a range of projects from artiste liaison and stage planning, to sound design and computer-based performances, as well as audio recording, editing and mixing. She currently engages in projects that interact with sound, recording processes, and performance interactivity.

Emerging from a music and audio technology background, Lynette nurtured an interest in the Sonic Arts, combining audio and visual elements in her current works. Incarnations of her work includes audiovisual installations, composition through sound manipulations, as well as cross-disciplinary performance on the computer - technology being an essential element. Her current work examines audio-visuality - the synchronisation and interaction between sound and visuals, challenging the notion of the heard and the unheard. She is also interested in exploring the integration of technology and musicians - examining the relationships between digital and physical elements. Through utilising accessible tools, she explores the variety of possibilities made possible through technology.

Lynette has recently completed a Masters of Arts in Music Production at The University of York, UK, and is currently embarking on a Ph.D, in Audiovisual Composition.

Ben Nigel Potts is an artist exploring the relationship between sound and sculpture through installation art. His work removes sound from the musical context and explores space, physicality, audience participation / interactivity, algorithmic generation and extreme minimalism/simplicity. His works are characterised by their intense physical effects created by auditory distortions (distortion product otoacoustic emissions) and the invitation to the audience to form their own individual experience through space and movement. 

Since 2015 YSWN has established a network for women, girls and people of minority genders interested in gaining skills and confidence in music and sound technology. YSWN enables artistic and technical development through access to resources, skills sharing, and collaborative opportunities.

‘An electronic blend of sounds, with bubbled up basslines, funky acid looniness and a sensual voice that sings as if she is one human synthesizer’.

See Pereria has a process led approach to making experimental electronica. Preset loops are used as set parameters with the addition of vocals as a further instrument. These limits and boundaries allow for See Pereria to really experiment with the software to create new sounds. Each track in the song is manipulated and sculpted by being layered, cut up and/or looped. Songs are made with heavy emphasis on synths, beats, harmonies and repetition.

‘At times I feel like it’s having a similar effect on my ears as the big ‘I feel Love’ hit by Donna Summer, but then something more celtic, mystical… something that wouldn’t be out of place heard through a valley blasted from the top of a large hill with lookout.’ *
