GROUPER is a recording and performing project by Liz Harris. She lives and works on the Oregon Coast. On the first night, we’ll also present two short films by Takashi Makino and Tanja Engleberts, both recently scored by Liz. The second evening will open with a live set by Coby Sey.
Coby Sey is an artist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Lewisham, London. Coby has developed a truly singular voice as both a producer and performer, weaving together threads from jazz fusion, hip-hop, post-punk and dub music to create something wholly new.
Though his output almost seems collaborative by nature - frequently seen working alongside acclaimed artists in music Tirzah, Mica Levi, Kwes - visual artist Hannah Perry and movement artist Maëva Berthelot, Coby’s debut solo album "Conduit" on AD 93 provides a perfect example of his distinct vision.
Across his solo discography, he employs a unique blend of live instrumentation and electronic-based material to hypnotic and sometimes unnerving effect. On stage, these dreamlike compositions are fleshed out by live instrumentation and staging and courtesy of regular cohorts Leisha Thomas (Alpha Maid), Ben Vince, Charlie Hope and Momoko Gill (MettaShiba).
Coby’s open-door approach to sharing and making music stretches to his work with London Contemporary Orchestra — with London collective CURL founded with Mica Levi and Brother May — with Tuscany collective TQS — and a regular slot on NTS Radio, which offers a portal into his appealingly murky musical world.
