As part of our 15th birthday year, we have something special for our fellow digital dreamers – we follow the space waves to imagined utopian vistas, dip and dive into oceanic soundscapes and blast off into the boundless infinity of space. ISAN return to our shores to present their fuzzy, shimmering orchestrated and multi-layered conversation between man and machine. In the new project All Aglow, Xenia Pestova Bennett combines her artistry as a concert pianist with the nostalgia of analogue synthesizers and explores resonance to portray the effects of bioluminescence in coastal sea waters.

The two artist will in Faversham present an exciting new collaboration, ISAN and Xenia will join forces on three tracks: ISAN’s hypnotic and mesmerising "Slow Bulb Slippage” and two excerpts from Xenia’s minimal and rhythmic new cycle for organ and electronics, “Castalia” and “Autumnia” (featuring additional mixing by Brian Robinson). Expect trance-like textures, synths and sparkles.

Robin Saville and Antony Ryan have been navigating the aural autobahn as ISAN since 1996. With Robin based in England and Antony residing in Denmark, they creatively communicate via email, telephone and the occasional postcard. Having recorded for a variety of micro-indies such as Bad Jazz, Static Caravan and Wurlitzer Jukebox, they now consider Morr Music as their spiritual home. ISAN have remixed and been remixed by the likes of Depeche Mode, The Notwist, Seefeel and Piano Magic amongst others. They also love to bring our sounds to the stage, having played festivals such as Sonar and the Big Chill and as far afield as China, Japan, Iceland, Russia and Brazil.

Xenia Pestova Bennett has performed at international festivals, in concert halls, tropical rainforests, caves, ponds and countless weird and wonderful venues and spaces. She has commissioned and recorded dozens of new works, collaborating with major innovators in contemporary music, exploring classical music boundaries with electronics, toy pianos, synthesizers and the Magnetic Resonator Piano. Her work spans a wide range of sound worlds, styles and genres from classical to contemporary art music, free improvisation, experimental electronica and avant-pop.
