In amongst our killer line-up over the festival weekend, Supersonic is proud to host the works of visual artists Kathy Hinde and Mark Titchner. Keep an eye out for their installations at the Custard Factory, Ikon Gallery and across our main stages.
Kathy Hinde
Supersonic and Supernormal join forces to present Kathy Hinde’s Piano Migrations
The inside of an old piano becomes a site for live performance. Recycled into a kinetic sound sculpture, Kathy Hinde mixes video projections of birds to create different musical patterns from their movements, providing an ever changing musical score where nature controls machines to create delicate music. She is joined by Matthew Olden, who performs with his own live sampling software ”i am the mighty jungulator” whilst videos of birds are projected. Together they create a captivating performance where image becomes sound and sound becomes image through a series of transformations realised through acoustic sound, live sampling, automata and projections. The installation can be found in the Custard Factory’s courtyard, adjacent to The Mockingbird Cinema.

Supersonic stages – throughout the weekend
‘Find Your World In Ours’ are a series of newly commissioned digital artworks curated by artist Mark Titchner and features films that explore ideas of ritual, repetition and collective experience. Artists include Anna Barriball, Sean Dower, Mustafa Hulusi, John Lawrence and Rachel Lowe. Reflecting Titchner’s interest in the intersection between visual art and experimental music these works are presented at Ikon and as large scale projections during Supersonic Festival across our main stages.
