SUMMARY:FACT: FACT: Ashley Holmes: Decaying Tail of a Sound
DESCRIPTION:\nJerwood Arts / FACT Fellow\, Ashley Holmes presents a special
  performance as an outcome of his residency at FACT.\nBOOKING ESSENTIAL 
 — FREE\n\n\n\nWed\, 15 Feb\n\n\n\n 	19:00\n\n\n\n\nDecaying Tail of a So
 und is a live event by artist\, Ashley Holmes as an outcome of his Jerwo
 od Arts / FACT Fellowship. Centred on musical\, theoretical and geographic
 al explorations\, Ashley will premiere a live version of a new sound compo
 sition developed from field recordings\, conversations and materials gathe
 red during his time spent in Liverpool.\n\nThe event title makes reference
  to a section of ‘Echo'\, a chapter by Julian Henriques and Hillegonda 
 Rietveld from The Routledge Companion to Sound Studies - a volume presenti
 ng a comparative and historically informed understanding of the workings o
 f sound in culture.\n\nAshley's interests focus on the sonic processes\, i
 terations and influences of Dub\, the sub-genre of reggae music\, to exami
 ne Black music as a methodology to understand and re-define links between 
 past and present within broader social contexts.\n\nAs part of his ongoing
  research he has broadcast radio shows and DJ mixes\, produced audio compo
 sitions and worked with drawing and writing processes. Decaying Tail of a
  Sound continues this work and delves into the possibilities of sound\, l
 istening and movement as embodied practices.\n\nThe live event and researc
 h presented within his upcoming installation\, bring together various visu
 al and written materials that speak to the ways in which Black experimenta
 l sound facilitates encounters with geographical histories and Afro-diaspo
 ric philosophies that exist outside of prevailing\, normative knowledge sy
 stems.\n\nFor this event\, Ashley has invited artists Ratiba Ayadi and Sei
 gfried Komidashi to share space and present live works that respond to the
 mes of his research into echo\, reverberation and notions of temporality a
 nd conceptions of place.\n\n\n\n\n\nARTIST BIOGRAPHIES\n\n\n\n\nAshley Hol
 mes\n\nAshley Holmes is an artist and DJ from Luton\, currently based in 
 Sheffield. His research is informed by an interest in the value and potent
 ial of music as a framework that allows us to think relationally within br
 oader social\, cultural\, and political discourses and reimagine notions o
 f listening\, storytelling\, collaboration\, ownership\, and belonging. As
 hley currently hosts Tough Matter\, a monthly broadcast on NTS Radio\, a
 nd is a resident on Sheffield based online station Mondo Radio. He also f
 acilitates Open Deck - a series of gatherings giving space to collectiv
 ely listen and hold discursive space around relationships to music\, sound
 \, memory and oral histories. He is a lecturer in Fine Art at Liverpool J
 ohn Moores University.\n\nRatiba Ayadi\n\nRatiba Ayadi is a composer\, pr
 oducer\, sound and performance artist. She layer’s fragmented vocalisati
 ons over sonic landscapes and explores the possibility of curating invisib
 le structures. She performs and records as an alias\, Silent Songstress - 
 an entity that can move through and between studies of self\, through voca
 l and physical inquiry. She/they investigate the act of presence in absenc
 e and absence in presence. Birthed in the speculation of identity in the d
 iaspora - sonically they exist together as a duplicity of being - a bridge
  between worlds. In collaborative works they tap into frequencies of alter
 nate lifelines mirroring the suffocation of separation - because of oppres
 sion - and channel emotive melodies with otherworldly lyrics.\n\nSeigfried
  Komidashi\n\nSeigfried Komidashi is an artist\, musician\, poet (a.k.a s
 eigfried komidashi\, sockless adventurer) from the Yoruba tribe\, working 
 with various mediums to engage in afrofuturist discourse on time\, space a
 nd nostalgia in a neocolonial witt traditions of mystics and nomads past.\
