Battle-ax w/ Julija Zaharijevic - Performance

Battle-ax is a solo music project by Beatrix Curran. Playing the viola in a semi-improvised manner, she amplifies and distorts the sound using a series of effect pedals. Dissonance, harmony and noise are implemented in addition to various string techniques that draw from composition spanning the baroque through to current experimentalism. Battle-ax will be joined by artist Julija Zaharijevic, who will present a series of spoken texts in collaboration with the musical performance.
