SHAPE Platform: Ábris Gryllus

Experimental

Working across visual and sonic media, Ábris Gryllus’ work is rooted in conceptual exploration. Across his music and installations, the Budapest-based artist warps notions of time and space, and his soundscapes exist in a liminal realm. Alongside his own work, Gryllus also forms one half of improvisational noise project FOR alongside Miklós Farkas.

At the core of Gryllus’ sound design is an attention to architectural detail, which this esoteric new work he presents as part of the SHAPE Platform takeover reflects. Speaking on the composition, he says: “I recorded this session in early 2020. I was reading a lot about the neural grid system behind rational and emotional behaviour, the spirituality in the digital domain and the sensuality of robotics. Some bits of the same session also happened to become part of a contemporary dance score. The patch stuck on my modular for a while, so I ended up playing it on my last live set before the lockdown. This is the home-recorded version from 21 January at 11:01 PM, edited and mastered in 2022.”

Ábris Gryllus is a member of SHAPE Platform’s 2021 roster. The seven-year initiative is a platform for innovative music and audiovisual art, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. Gryllus’ contribution is presented by UH Fest in Budapest, Hungary.
