Description

Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe weaves together voice and modular synthesis for Nsenene, a live interpretation of the score to the film Grasshopper Republic. Filmed over three years in Uganda and directed by Daniel McCabe, this documentary follows  a team of grasshopper trappers as they try ‘to catch the swarm.’ 

Lowe’s live score—shifting between falsetto incantations, resonant horns, and trembling electronics—creates a charged sonic ecosystem where sound mirrors survival and the precarious interdependence between humans and the natural world. 

This live performance is the furthering of the Grasshopper Republic film collaboration between Lowe and McCabe. Unused footage and stems from the film’s score manifest as an A/V performance conceptualized by Lowe in which he investigates the elements of the score to create a new landscape.
