Galerie Beyond at To Be Antwerp 2018 3rd edition. Presenting Emma Gregory

Artist list

Emma Gregory

In order to gain more insight into the production processes used in the creation of electronic dance music, I took classes at the Royal Conservatoire in Antwerp on electronic music. A master-class on typography and writing systems, gave me the opportunity to develop a unique form of musical notation for electronic dance music, which I then used as a basis for creating my pieces – each link and element represents a ‘bar’ or 4 beats of the music, each circle or line relates to the percussion or harmonies respectively. My work is made of highly polished stainless steel wires, laser-welded into tiny intricate shapes, transforming the songs that inspire me into treasured objects.

Siez31, a seasoned DJ/organiser, from Maastricht Club Blitz collective will explore the boundaries between rhythm, space and the structures of Emma’s work. Supplying a soundtrack that weaves between subtle Avant-Garde sounds to more sinuous and agile Detroit Techno stylings, Sjez31 aims to complement the polyrhythmical designs with their own sonic motifs.

With a live soundtrack by Sjez31 - Fri Nov 30 - 7 pm 

To be Antwerp, Gallery Beyond's spot is No 30 on the program.
