Wetspace Noise Drips 3.0 with experimental sound artists CYNK and Friends

Wetspace Noise Drips is an immersive audio-visual experience that fosters a new ethic of listening, engaging, and composing in a space-time sound-field. This is space where intimate acoustic chamber of sounds, thoughts, ideas and instruments can float up and lie beside us.

This was the third edition of the live immersive sonic event that focused on creating space that is open for varied performances that explored specialised sound.

This series started as a noise event that expanded in the scope to include field recording concerts, installations, DJ sets and lasers. The intention is not just to create 'sounds' but to find periods of intense silence, moments of complete surrender to sound, and conditions for artistic collaboration.

Walk around, move around and keep your ears open.

CYNK

Cynk is a collective of 4 artists in varying fields of contemporary art practice. We have been working together for half a decade. We share a vision towards creating immersive experiences by combining technology and performance driven by a need for humans to be able to have environments that make them feel a new comfort of space.

As a collective we are seeking to engage with audiences in unique ways through audio visual experiences. We use DIY instruments, Custom made Synthesizers, Computer based softwares such as Max and Touchdesigner, and local materials to create unique experiences. Though each event is unique, we pursue ideas for long periods of time experimenting and rehearsing. We believe collaboration is the only way we can challenge each other and make work that is beyond the reach of individual capacities.

Cynk is based in Bangalore and consists of Kaldi Moss, Vineesh Amin, Amith Venkataramaiah and Vivek Chokalingham.
