IN REVERSE is a new duo created by Madison Willing and Athena Varosio. Madison and Athena are two independent composers who have joined forces to form a new collaborative duo named 'In Reverse,' specialising in live electronica for immersive performance. Described as “a soundtrack without images,” the 33 minute piece explores themes of lost love, human expression and sonic gesture as the players artificially effect the instruments live, manipulating their interaction with the Britten Studio. Written specifically for Moog Sub37, Prophet 5, Piano, Voice and Flute, the piece is designed with a specific movement in mind, as the players interchange between the instruments continuously.
