Nwando Ebizie - East Street Arts

Nwando Ebizie is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and curator whose work converges around immersive installation, performance art personas, experimental theatre, neuroscience, music and African diasporic ritual.

Her own personal strand of Afrofuturism combines explorations of the perception of neuroscience (inspired by her own neurodivergency) and an obsession with science fiction with ritualistic live art.

Nwando Eibizie

Nwando Ebizie es un punto de constelación para un espectro de trabajos multidisciplinarios que piden un cambio RADICAL. Ella desafía a su audiencia a cuestionar sus realidades percibidas a través de la creación de distintos personajes, teatro experimental, neurociencia, música electrónica y danza ritualista procedente de la diáspora africana. Forjando su propia línea particular de afrofuturismo, combina la investigación de la neurociencia de la percepción (inspirada en su propia neurodiversidad) y una obsesión por la ciencia ficción con una práctica de artes vivas.

Los trabajos incluyen su entorno sensorial inmersivo Distorted Constellations, su personaje pop Lady Vendredi que funciona como una heroína de blaxploitation de otra dimensión y la construcción de su experiencia operística a largo plazo, Hildegard: Visions. Esta premiada obra ha realizado giras por todo el mundo actuando en Tokio (Bonobo), Río de Janeiro (Tempo Festival), Berlín (Chalet), Letonia (Baltais Fligelis Concert Hall) y Zúrich (Blok), así como en todo el Reino Unido desde Home MCR hasta Barbican y Southbank Centre. Nwando trabaja a través de medios, géneros y formas de arte creando metanarrativas mitopoéticas y realidades alternativas. Su trabajo es un dibujo conjunto de las piezas que ella es en un momento congelado de regresión infinita eterna.

Siempre activista y basada en una perspectiva mitocientífica, invita a los asistentes a unirse a ella en crossroads. En la encrucijada donde puedes elegir atravesar el espejo cósmico y tocar realidades alternas. Las realidades de lo que podría haber sido y lo que debería haber sido y lo que posiblemente sea. Trabaja con ficciones especulativas, sueños posibles y mundos lúcidos. Su disco The Swan, 2022, está editado por Accidental Records, el sello de Mathew Herbert. Este álbum sugiere disrupción es una obra de ficción sónica en el mundo imaginado de una comunidad matriarcal, que se desarrolla como un relato etnográfico que dobla el tiempo de sonido encontrado y material de archivo que es a la vez antiguo y futurista.

El proyecto reúne los experimentos electrónicos de Nwando, las influencias musicales transfronterizas, las prácticas radicales de arte en vivo y los intereses en las culturas rituales del Atlántico negro y la ficción especulativa. Primera actuación en España.

Rewire, day 2

This day didn’t start as planned. In the afternoon, I saw a migraine attack coming and so I drank some water and laid down. This meant I was going to drop acts in favour of recovering, meaning I was missing Malibu, which was rather unfortunate, because I looked forward to see her live. Regardless, that’s the price of the sickness. So, unwilling to give up on the day I tried to sleep and after a few hours ate something before setting out. My head was still hurting, but I didn’t plan to stay long and had my eyes on some calm acts anyway.

I started with Morita Vargas, who wasn’t bad, but also felt she was and would still be developing her craft further. Her final last track was her best, the weaving of her vocals with the ethereal music worked well. It was a little Julee Cruise-esque.

Then, I had the choice to stay and see Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but I have already been fortunate to see a 3-hour set once and there’s so much more hear. So I went to Nwando Ebizie. She was anything but calm, but she was also a lot of fun. Having recently visited the Black Fantastic exhibition, I imagine she would fit right in. A vibrant singer with humor, sharing the popped corn with the audience to receive as a blessing and ending with a group dance in the middle of the crowd of whoever wanted to join.

Next were Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals. They fit right in with Run the Jewels when it comes to politics, but seemed to focus more on beats. Infinity Knives got to do some live messing around with electronics and Ennals in the meantime was just a menace on the mic, undermining religion, politics and whatever he didn’t like. Singing ‘All we want is some reparations’ to the tune of RHCP’s Californication (Death of a Constable), ‘Realize the American flag same colour as cop lights’ (Sambo’s Last Words) and ‘God is good, pussy is better’, finishing with A Melancholy Boogie and its disco-revival beat. Standing in the back was the right decision. The message reached me, the loudness not so much.

Following them, I went to Lucinda Chua in one of the churches. This location is beautiful and her music fit right in. She performed while Godspeed were still playing, so the place wasn't full, but that also meant that everyone who wanted to be there was there and it created a bond. The only sound the audience made was applause when songs ended. She sang, played the cello, while she was supported by an unnamed synthesizer player. For the last song she was also joined by Hatis Noit on the stage, making me regret a little to not have seen her, but alas choices and choices.

Then out again and off to Alto Arc. That was absolutely insane. This is a project consisting of a singer George Clarke (Deafhaven), a make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench and 2 producers. One is Trayer Tryon (Hundred Water), the other Danny L Harle, who has been making waves for a while now (collaborating with yeule and this On a Mountain remix lives rent-free in my mind).

Anyway, the show had a lot of theatrics with a lot of hard beats. Sound wise it reminded me of those darkwave-esque acts like Witch of the Vale, where the woman takes the high-pitched role and the man does the dusky growling. (I guess old CoF also works?) The electronic stuff reminded me a bit of Violet Cold and its crazy patterns. At some point Darle got the stage to himself and it seemed the room became a sonic witness account of a chain collision of crashed cars. As what we got to see, some sort of play about sacrifice, occultism and rapture? I’m not sure, sorry.

After that I took a breather and walked to Deena Abdelwahed’s venue. Now I mentioned scheduling conflicts before, here’s another: choosing Deena meant no Slikback and no Coucou Chloe (who were on at the same time at the same venue, so switching would be easier). However, I’ve been a big fan of Deena for years and getting the opportunity to see her live outweighed the others.

She was going to premier her new latest work and it didn’t disappoint. Her set was amazing and with help from her partner-in-crime Hamid, who occasionally picked up something like a sitar, they got the crowd moving. So yeah, by the sounds of it, there’ll be a great album coming to you… next year.

After that, I was done, it felt like I asked more than I could from my head. Yet the day after, here I am writing. Honestly, I’m amazed I saw as much as I did, but my head seemed to deal with it. Sometimes the pain just subsided (read: was drowned out by the music, it had no place to go). In the meantime I saw and spoke familiar and unfamiliar people, which sort of kept me busy. And being outside a lot helped too, the evening wasn’t cold, but it kept my head in check.

Nwando Ebizie – I Seduce

[burlveneer-music]

Nwando Ebizie (f.k.a. Lady Vendredi) - The Swan - dazzling Afrofuturist LP from the UK

Released on 22 July, Nwando’s debut album The Swan follows on from the dizzyingly experimental heights of 2021 singles, I Seduce, and The Swan, the latter of which was chosen by Gazelle Twin as her ‘favourite song of 2021’ and was featured on Tom Ravenscroft’s BBC 6 Music’s NYE show and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction NYE show. In addition, Nwando was also nominated for an Ivor Novello Composer award. This genre-breaking album is a work of sonic fiction into the imagined world of a matriarchal community, unfolding like a time-bending ethnographic account of found sound and footage that is at once both ancient and futuristic. The project brings together Nwando’s left-field electronic experiments, cross-border musical influences, radical live art practices, and interests in Black Atlantic ritual cultures and speculative fiction. Having previously released left-field pop and electronic music under Lady Vendredi (her blaxploitation pop alter-ego), Nwando carves out a bold new Afrofuturist exploration in The Swan, her first album release under her own name Nwando Ebizie. Later this year, Nwando will tour The Swan with a live performance, supported by Battersea Arts Centre, through the Foyle Foundation. Produced by Nwando Ebizie and Hugh Jones Tracks 1,2,3,5,10 written by Nwando Ebizie Tracks 4,6,7,8,9 written by Nwando Ebizie and Hugh Jones Lyrics and Metanarrative by Nwando Ebizie Voices: Nwando Ebizie Videos: Marta V ( I Seduce), Nat Sharp (The Swan)

Patterns of Trauma, written for The Sick of The Fringe at Normal? Festival 2018

Very excited to see my piece for @TSOTFringe up on the site about Patterns of Trauma, exploring the role of trauma in art #trauma #art #traumainart #Folkestone

It was a privilege to work with The Sick of The Fringe (TSOTF) at this year’s Normal? festival.

It is an amazing festival which explores the brain and mental health issues. They write and diagnose events at festivals all over the country from the Edinburgh Fringe festival to Latitude. The word diagnose is important as it is their mission is not to pass judgement, just to talk about the ideas a…
