Sonic Sculptures: Aja Ireland

Experience an intense sonic performance by experimental artist and musician AJA Ireland within the Sonic Sculptures installation. Expect to be challenged sonically and visually as you embark on an auditory adventure where materials, space, and the sound of industrial techno, synths, drum machines, and unsettling noise intertwine.

AJA’s set is the second performance in a series of events by Sonic Sculptures, transforming Broadway Gallery itself into an instrument and pushing the boundaries of how we experience sound and space.

About the Artist

Using unsettling noise, field recording manipulations and hardware, Aja Ireland’s industrial beats and distorted drone, combined with intense performances, challenge the audience by breaking down barriers and pushing limits sonically.
