about

'St Vitus Dance' is a 30 minute work developed for radio transmission as part of Radiophrenia 2019 open call.

Broadcast live from Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts on 21st May 2019 @ 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm.

Programme Notes:

St Vitus Dance is a 30 minute improvised radio work recorded in a single take utilising material developed in the early part of 2019. The work is formed from text, vocals and modular synth.

The inspiration for the text in the work was developed following a period of research looking at accounts of illness in literature and historical writing. This led to descriptions of a ‘mass hysteria’ or ‘psychic folk’ disease in the German middle ages referred to as St Vitus Dance.


Artist Information:

Adam Kinsey is an artist who’s practice focuses on improvisation with electronics and processed sound. Whilst ideas are cultivated the final production is often a document of a single event, leaving the finished product riddled with it’s inherent imperfections. Utilising compositional methods where elements interrelate in a variety of ways introduces complexity, unexpected results or induces patterns of familiar behaviour. Working with ideas of memory, lived experience and our emotional responses to stimulus his work often has an underlying fragility and fractured state. Adam also runs Desire Lines an event that promotes Sound Art and Improvised Sound.
