A4 and Sonic Acts have commissioned Hugo Esquinca to develop new sound works to be played on ‘The Pentacle’ sound system. ‘The Pentacle’ is a powerful high fidelity mobile speaker system, developed at STEIM in Amsterdam by Fedde ten Berge and Jesse Meijer, consisting of 15 self-designed loudspeakers and 3 self-designed subwoofers. As a founding member of the Berlin-based oqko collective under the alias DEKJ, Hugo Esquinca makes and performs noise music that is visceral and confrontational, preferably delivered in pitch black environment, speakers screeching their conic guts out. The residency at STEIM (organized by Sonic Acts) enables Esquinca to develop the new sound works which is premiered at the NEXT Festival at A4 in Bratislava.
