Over_Rhythm

Last Friday (05.09.2025) Senses teamed up with @noellenoelleno and her project Opal for our 3rd exhibition of light and sound, this time at @supermassiveUK at Mayfield Depot. Senses x Opal: Dreamscapes was immersive night of dance, music and light art that dived deep into a digital dreamworld. ☁️🌙 This extraordinary effort of multi disciplinary artists explored the threshold between sleep and waking, treading backrooms & liminal spaces. We invited audiences to step into a space of panoptic reactive light displays, 360 spatial sound, dance vignettes and experimental electronic music all night long. 💡 Special thanks and the biggest respect to all our technologists and Artists: Louis SG @supermassiveuk Noelle Nurdin @noellenoelleno Bernie Steer @bernie_steer @microcosmaudio Emmanuel B @alllowercasealloneword Corina B @hpzlla Big thanks to @matt_n_creative for his development of Ossify.

We asked our visual and music artists about themselves and what does peace mean to you? @zolatec is a Leicester-born, Manchester-based artist who has been playing the steelpan since she was six years old. Unlike most electronic producers, she refuses to use digital samples of the instrument—recording her own live steelpan instead to preserve its natural warmth and dynamics. After teaching herself production during lockdown as a form of creative rebirth, she now crafts dark, melodic electronic music with the sound of the instrument she grew up hearing.

Manchester-based Spanish vocalist Cloe @velezband fronts the rising outfit VELEZ, a project that breathes new life into Latin jazz and atmospheric balladry with a distinctly modern, melancholic pull. An "old soul" with a sultry, reverb-drenched vocal style, Cloe channels the smoky introspection of Richard Hawley and the rhythmic warmth of bossa nova legends. As heard on BBC Introducing Manchester, VELEZ creates an entrancing sonic world where Latin influence meets profound storytelling about love, loss, and everything in between.
