Dronica #61 - Dronica Meets Scual & dThed

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

In this episode, Dronica meets Scual and dThed for our monthly guest mix on Resonance Extra.

Scual and dTHEd are collaborating for a new audio/visual work, due to be published later this year on Stochastic Resonance.

The mix, in its first half, will introduce the work with a bespoke live performance, and will carry on with some sounds that have been companions of the development process of the project in recent months.

Scual – Special Cures for Uncurable Anesthetized Lovers – is a multidisciplinary project started by Lorenzo Cco in late 2006. Born as an experimental web platform for the collection and publication of multidisciplinary projects, as results of personal works and collaborations. It then moved onto the physical plane, first with the activity of vjing, then by proposing multimedia performances and installations.

Its aesthetic research focuses on the permeation of different media categories, synthesized through the digital process, emphasizing the distortions and discontinuities that occur between those passages. Scual is one of the initiatives behind the creation of the network of artistic research, Stochastic Resonance

dTHEd is a multidisciplinary art trio inspired by the dilemmas stemming from neurodiversity (e.g. ASD) and the anthropocene (e.g. hyperobjects).
They do: music, graphics, videos, interviews, talks, performances, concerts, prints, VR, social experiments and sensory explorations in order to raise awareness, through unexpected beauty.
