The Engine Room presents: Tam Lin, Mimi Doulton singing Timothy Cape, and Velvet Loudscape for an evening of sonic experimentation that pushes at the boundaries of sound art and music.
The persona of Tam Lin reflects our social media age, in which ‘real’ selves overlap uncomfortably with digital appearances. Their latest LP, “Fizzy!”, journeys through the paradoxes of our online existence, exploring what it “sounds like to exist simultaneously everywhere and nowhere… perpetually logged in but always searching for signal” (Foxy Digitalis).
Mimi Doulton (singer) specialises in contemporary music. She has spent the past few years attempting a semi-chameleonic existence, migrating between opera houses such as Staatsoper Hamburg and Zurich Opera, experimental venues like Cafe Oto and Alte Muenze Berlin, and work with ensembles and festivals such as ICTUS, Time of Music Viitasaari, and the oenm in Salzburg. Collaborators past and future include the composers Neil Luck, Jonathan Higgins, Linda Buckley and Elaine Mitchener. She also hosts a podcast – high flier – about green travel and sustainability in the theatre industry.
Velvet Loudscape is the electronic/experimental project of the multimedia artist Simona Ligorio.
Conceived as a multidisciplinary exploration, the project is rooted in semiotics, media, and photography, and draws inspiration from dystopian narratives and the complex relationship between technology and nature. At its core, Velvet Loudscape investigates how meaning is constructed and deconstructed through sound and image, creating a dialogue between organic and technological worlds. The result is an evolving body of work that blurs boundaries between disciplines, inviting audiences to experience sound as both documentation and abstraction, a loudscape where nature and artificiality resonate in experimental harmony.
