Nwando Ebizie: Writing the Future

Enter a liminal space for a sonic exploration of myth, fairytale and archetypes, at the London Sinfonietta’s world premiere of Fall and then Rise on a Soft Winter’s Morning, created by multidisciplinary artist Nwando Ebizie.

The work is part of the final instalment in London Sinfonietta’s fourth series of its pioneering Writing the Future music creation scheme.

It’s a playground of dream soundscapes where influences of experimental dance meet klezmer, the poetry of British Sign Language (BSL) is danced to create visual music, and the space vibrates to create an analogous haptic experience.

This is a multi-sensory theatrical music experience, oscillating from romantic song to nightmarish visions, intimate reverie and lucid horror.

The music/English text/theatrical BSL has been created symbiotically in order to give multiple possibilities for access and understanding while creating a unique art-music experience.

‘Looking to the light, through the dark forests, meeting here, beyond the crossroads’This groundbreaking new work challenges your perception of reality by considering how physical movement can represent and augment sound.

Writing the Future offers early career music creators unique opportunities to nurture their talents and to develop a new piece in partnership with a world-class producing ensemble, and established mentors.

The current cohort of composers is Nwando Ebizie, Alicia Jane Turner, Luke Lewis and Alex Paxton.
