CUSP Presents: Franck Vigroux // Crow Hill Gnostic Temple

  • 1433 East 33rd Street Cleveland, OH, 44114 United States (map)

Franck Vigroux is a multifaceted artist whose works range from experimental electronic music to modern composition and music theatre. Franck Vigroux‘s music is made of tectonic tensions, beats, electronic textures and a very personal approach to sonic exploration. He is equally prolific as a solo artist and as a collaborator, he has worked with musician such as Elliott Sharp, Mika Vainio, Reinhold Friedl, Ars Nova... Vigroux’s uniqueness comes from his artistic approach that integrates new media and performance arts. He designs transdisciplinary shows and audiovisual concerts, collaborating with visual artists such as Antoine Schmitt and Kurt d’Haeseleer.

Vigroux will perform his work, Cascades. Cascades is an audiovisual project inspired by the concept of waterfalls, here represented by flows of pixels which movements are generative, meaning never the same. For the music, this same concept is used as inspiration to compose music using electronic instruments, a sort of continuum reminding of surge and immutability… Fruit of a decade long of collaboration between the two artists, Cascades represent both infinite movement and stability, but where catastrophes can happen: a synesthetic artwork, both contemplative, reflexive and a physical experience.

Crow Hill Gnostic Temple is Witchbeam on electronics & Sister Jillian on percussion, with accompaniment from Mephisto Michael on vox and Jayson on drums.

Through sonic ritual the Crow Hill Gnostic Temple creates an Infinite Autonomous Zone, at all times after the experiencer steps inside the zone, the zone remains available . This performance will be centered on pre-solstice darkness, the time of the year where shadows drape all material and create a formless void.  CHGT will be creating the soundtrack to the film Highest Quality Black Cat by Steven Intermill, a visual romp through the eso-detritus of the 20th century occulture.
