New Music New Functionalities examines the work of a series of practitioners breaking new ground within music and sound design. For this occasion, Yuri Suzuki will be joined by the electronic acid-technoise artist and self-taught instrument maker Ewa Justka for a talk about electronic instrument-making and practice. The audience will have the opportunity to interact with Justka’s instruments during the talk, and the event will conclude with a performance. New Music New Functionalities is part of a wider series of performances and talks curated by Suzuki and the quarterly design journal Disegno to celebrate Suzuki’s Furniture Music exhibition at Stanley Picker Gallery.
