‘Survivor’ By Hofesh Shechter & Antony Gormley
‘Survivor’ By Hofesh Shechter & Antony Gormley

Brave and different, visceral and emotional, with Hofesh Shechter’s music set within a visual landscape created by Antony Gormley, ‘Survivor’ is about seeds of feeling, the search for continuity and the deconstruction of the spectacle, as it showcases Hofesh Shechter’s trademark percussive grooves, melancholy strings and atmospheric electronic soundscapes .

Moving from a phase of colourful seduction, through manipulation and battle to confusion and then, finally, acceptance, ‘Covariance’ by Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor is an intelligent and humorous exploration of the stages of human relationships.
