Sanatorium Merkurial × IKLECTIK

Tomorrow, Sanatorium Merkurial begins its autumn programme with a concert presented in collaboration with IKLECTIK at Peckham Levels.

The evening brings together distinct approaches to electronic sound, composition and performance, exploring how music acts through intensity, tension, space and the relationship between performer and audience.

Rashad Becker

Berlin-based German-Syrian composer, sound artist and mastering engineer Rashad Becker creates synthetic environments in which sounds behave like autonomous organisms, developing their own logic and relationships.

His acclaimed Traditional Music of Notional Species series evokes imaginary musical cultures and traditions that have never existed. In performance, micro-events and shifts in perception create an acoustic world suspended between the synthetic and the organic.

Robert Piotrowicz

Composer and sound artist Robert Piotrowicz has developed a distinctive musical language characterised by vast sonic structures, electronic complexity, extreme dynamic range and physical intensity.

From the modular synthesis of Lasting Clinamen to the fictional organ compositions of Afterlife and the imagined Eastern European traditions of Wrong Filament, his work continually expands the possibilities of electronic composition. Piotrowicz is artistic director of Sanatorium of Sound and co-founder of Merkurial.

Jacek Sienkiewicz

Warsaw-based producer, composer and performer Jacek Sienkiewicz has been a key figure in Polish electronic music since the 1990s. He founded Recognition Records in 1999, creating an independent platform for his own music and other artists’ individual approaches to electronic sound.

His practice moves between techno, ambient and abstract composition. Rhythm and repetition become tools for exploring time and perception, bringing the physical immediacy of club music into contact with open, experimental forms.
