We invite you to this gathering with a programme of events to consider what folk and rave are and how common elements of our lives are symbiotic. We wonder how we are connected in harmonics and through unseen energetic fields of balance and enquiry.The Harmonicon portal will reignite over Todmorden for a provocative gathering of esoteric wild transcendence.So, being radical and challenging in these times is action we can take to challenge a narrative. Stones and drones harmonise, as they ring the changes to reveal deeper constructs, through unruly visions and collective alignment from a maverick brigade of musicians, speakers, dancers, poets and artists to inspire, delight and inflame.We warmly look forward to experiencing this weekend with you.
Amy asks, ‘If time was a piece of paper how many times would it fold?’
Stand and see what you see! If reflections reflect themselves, could you open a threshold? Who was it who described mirrors as leaks, as windows to alternate universes?
Amy Payphone (Amy Payton Edwards) is a socially engaging artist and experiential space designer from Todmorden. She has worked at festivals such as Waking Life as a set designer as well as in community centred arts projects across the UK. She invites you to reflect upon her ‘Mirror Portal’, created for Harmonicon, arranged on the ascent to the Unitarian Church, accompanied by a soundscape designed by Dave Walker of EMOM.
Also catch up with Amy on Saturday from 1-4pm at Nan Moors for the ‘Creation Station’ for a tin foil hat making workshop as well as a group frequency drawing session with Miri. Look out for her work around the Church, at 'the Beach' woodland area and into the graveyard.@amy_payton_edwards
Fresh out of a long summer making art installations for everyone and their dogs from Watching trees to Postive Harmony, Jamie will be returning to the Unitarian Church. This time he is bringing the afterburnt harvest produce of a heated summer in the form of a brand new set of visual experiments ready for mixing.
Alongside this, he has been working on the unified duality tapestry hangings you will see around the space, which are an ongoing time based collage 'object'. Starting as an abstract light experiment, the object has been photographed, interpreted, scanned, blurred, and distorted as it is passed between dimensions. It has now manifested itself right down to the 2D realm where it was promptly defaced as things so often are down there. A snapshot of it's latest iteration adorns the hangings.@hamie_jouse
Wagner is an artist, creative and mystical practitioner, fascinated by the underlying processes of Life and their practical applications for everyday living.
A specialist in the art of cymatics and its alchemy, he brings them to resonance events as well as making a return to Harmonicon to add live modal vibrational phenomena to illuminate the Unitarian Church with vibration, light & sound.@mark_wagner_33
