Am I making up what really happened?

Svein Flygari Johansen and Jonny Bradley talk at 7pm

Live performance by Metamono at 9pm

Beaconsfield hosts an evening when artist Svein Flygari Johansen returns to London to ask Am I making up what really happened?
A discussion with code maker Jonny Bradley will unpack their long-term collaboration and the marriage of digital revolution with landscape tradition in Beaconsfield's current exhibition.

The work illuminates themes of indigenous culture, capitalist meltdown, patriotism and global politics through a fusion of organic materials (sticks, stones, bacterial cultures, ammonium sulphate, oil) with complex computer programming. Code for all Flygari’s digital works is written by Jonny Bradley with whom he has collaborated since 2001.

In contrast, Metamono’s technopop combines art house with mosh pit, making purely electronic music which rejects digital technology. Their instinctive, improvised compositions are created using a selection of pre-used, borrowed and hand-built vintage analogue synths and ring modulators, enhanced by the ethereal sounds of a theremin, a siren and a valve radio.

Following the release of their new record on 23 January, Metamono joins Beaconsfield for an intimate performance.
