WE LAUNCH @chromatics_org 26th July 3-5pm at @thetonofbrix , Brixton, London, UK
Our tightly curated label promoting unique interdisciplinary live audiovisual artists across music, video and visual practices will programme 24 months of releases to be announced soon.
We investigate technological convergence of performance providing multidimensional experience for audiences in both artistic, dance and movement based contexts.
Our first event brings our community of artists as a collective exploration of multisensory electronic dance music in all its forms, ranging from IDM through to Techno.
The venue has incredible history at 414 coldharbour Lane now the Ton of Brix, the old Club 414 that used to host dance music events till 11am on a Monday was absolutely legendary for its community spirit and forward thinking music policy, made it a foundational favourite of Chromatics founder @freshlov3
Tickets via RA, Early Bird tickets go by the end of June x
26th February- 360-3D - Kingsley Obasi x Zeb Fry -
"Buoyancy Of The Spirit"
Kingsley Obasi, based in Lagos, Nigeria, explores post-colonial interpretations of post-modern portraiture as well as positing the interwoven dynamics of individualism and collectivism in his work.
This first of a kind immersive 3D show augments traditional modernist Nigerian oil painting.
Zeb Fry digitally augments Kingsley Obasi's physical works in groundbreaking augmented 3D, creating interactive immersive environments recontextualising the paintings using cutting edge digital techniques.
The Not For Sale Gallery debuts a new 3D immersive experience exending the walls of the gallery into extensions of the pieces where attendees will be able to interact with the pieces digitally. We believe this is the first time traditional works have been showcased in a 360 degree digitally augmented gallery and propose that in the age of digital augmentation that galleries, and pieces themselves will become digitally augmented intentionally or retrospectively.

Chromatics interdisciplinary partnership in the form of Algorhythm V2, alongside the current show at Not For Sale "Hardwired Into The Next Reality" curated by @_exlab - all exploring intellectual property and technology.
The AI, Mubert, @mubert.app uses musician created samples to procedurally generate electronic music, allowing AI to provide a new revenue stream to the music industry, and a new way of listening to music.

We introduce our associated artists starting with Adolfo Barabino.
Adolfo Barabino, a pupil of Emilio Bonino, is an artist who combines a refined touch with a profound musical interpretation and the “Musical Opinion” describes him “…with a sound so rich in nuances that make him one of the most interesting Chopin interpreters of his generation.”
He lives between Italy and England where he recently debuted with the London Philharmonic Orchestra recording for BBC Radio.
With the London Symphony Orchestra he recorded Chopin’s Second Concerto and the disc was nominated for the Grammy Award.
He got a ten-year contract of concerts in Japan where he regularly plays in major venues such as Suntory Hall, Tokyo Hamarikyu Asahi Hall, Kitara Hall-Sapporo, Minato Marai Concert Hall-Yokohama, Aoi Concert Hall- Shizuoka, also making several radio recordings.
In 2016, he participated in the Piano Narapi Festival in Nara, Japan, recorded live by MBS TV.
In 2018, his debut in the United States.
In addition to his concert activity, Adolfo is recording in England the complete Chopin’s works and hold masterclasses in Italy, England, Usa and Japan.
Since 2019 he has been a member of the jury of the “Concours International de piano Nice Côte d’Azur”.

Chromatics' first release is "Fresh Lov3 - Breathe"
@freshlov3
Breathe takes the form of a multi part album that explores humanities harmonic relationship between interior and exterior worlds. Layering classical instrumentation with spacious sonic and visual imagery, the listener is transported into temporary dream-like states with both spaces and concepts explored through sampling. The firmly rhythmic elements draw inspiration from contemporary music culture and dance in London with the instrumental beauty at counterpoint with the often energetic and suggestively raw percussive elements."
Pioneering production, DJ & AV sets across various flavours of techno infused with classically trained musical heritage. What's the difference between a viola, electric guitar and a 303 anyway?
Supporting artists & labels including Tale Of Us, Anjunadeep, DJ Pierre, Adam Port, Marco Carolla, Bob Sinclair, Mark Knight, Royksopp, Sven Vath, Ellen Alien, Fatima Hajji, Nicole Moudaber, Lehar, Keinemusic, A Guy Called Gerald, Dekmantel, Jay Lumen in live AV productions has lent its own flavour to these productions.
