On the evening of Wednesday, March 26, we were thrilled to host Immersion and SUSS, who united for a special live collaboration titled Nanocluster. Immersion (Colin Newman and Malka Spigel), celebrated for their inventive and immersive approach to sound, creates complex and engaging sonic landscapes that captivate listeners.
SUSS, with their signature blend of ambient and minimalist influences, adds a layer of serene and expansive sound. It’s a perfect combination sparking new textures – imagine Celexico in slo-mo with Eno adding splashes of synth loveliness. SUSS combine pedal steel, national steel guitar, mandolin, harmonica, baritone guitar, and the harmonium, which they weave with synthesizers and loops to create their echo resonant sound.
Together, their collaboration created a rich auditory experience, blending Immersion’s dynamic textures with SUSS’s tranquil atmospheres. This performance offered a unique journey through their combined styles, exploring new sonic realms and providing an engaging and immersive experience.
About Immersion: Immersion are Malka Spigel and Colin Newman best known for their work with Minimal Compact and Wire. The project emerged in the early 1990s and has always prided itself on a diversity in approach and an ability to be both self-contained and a vehicle for collaboration. 1999’s Low Impact & 2018’s Sleepless cover very different aesthetics.
More recent work has seen Immersion collaborating with the likes of Tarwater, Laetitia Sadier, Ulrich Schnauss, Scanner, Thor Harris, Cubzoa & now SUSS in their ongoing Nanocluster series of events & albums
The couple also have a weekly music radio show called Swimming In Sound and play in the band Githead, alongside Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) & Max Franken.
