Vivienne Griffin & Zach Toppin.Vivienne Griffin has built a new instrument, The New Note, a harp with a motorised structure attached to it, which plays itself. In this performance The New Note plays, sound plays through a modular synthesister, and Zach Toppin plays improvised drums.
Vivienne Griffin was born in Dublin, Ireland. Griffin studied fine art at Hunter City University New York supported by a Fulbright Scholarship. Moving between experimental sound and art, through the digital and the human voice, Griffin is an anti-disciplinary artist who uses video, sound and sculpture. As a form of anti capitalism Griffin aims to reclaim the emancipatory prompts that technology can offer us through vocal processing, live performance, video and installations.
Zach Toppin is an artist and drummer, currently playing with Mica Levi and Alpha Maid as Spresso.
