EVENTS // Forest Collective and Addison

Forest Collective, in collaboration with queer artist Addison, present a reflection on technology and emotion.

Sparking life and movement, or suffusing inertia, technology increasingly works upon us as we work with it.

These friction points will be explored by songs by Addison from the past and the future.

Ballads about artificial intelligence and baroque hymns for countertenor will come together to answer questions about how to cope with love and loss in a world where we are coerced into watching screens saturated with melancholy.

“I gained renewed appreciation for some composers of modern and postmodern traditions. How the performers presented these unusual works, their performance expertise, and the drama and visual presentation all combined to enhance the musical expression” – Carol Dixen, CutCommon on Forest Collective Relaunched
