Fact

For the latest in a series of Patch Notes episodes filmed behind closed doors by Fact at 180 The Strand, we invited Oscar Powell to perform a remote audio-visual set with artists Michael Amstad and Marte Eknæs, who this year launched a new multidisciplinary project, a ƒolder.

As the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for the collective to assemble in one place, Powell, Amstad and Eknæs performed remotely, with Powell in London manipulating audio, and Amstad and Eknæs responding with the visual component in real time with a Resolume Avenue and Akai APC40 MKII via a livestream from Berlin, resulting in a unique and appropriate set for the conditions of 2020.

"I like to try and recreate the most comfortable environment in which to work, to make it actually feel like I might be in the studio, where I spend most of my life and feel most relaxed," Powell says. "This explains, also, the lying on the floor. It’s something I do at home now and I somehow feel less observed in that mode."

Powell's latest album (or volume) of music, aƒ20 ➜ ‘on the feet of a wind’, is available digitally now and can be pre-ordered on vinyl ahead of its physical release in January 2021.
