Sonics Collective CIC is proud to present a special, intimate live show to celebrate the release of Isobel Anderson’s album END TIMES, performed across a spatial sound system purpose-built by Hastings sound artist Tony Birch, in the atmospheric setting of Hastings Museum’s Durbar Hall.

Described by Neil Mason of Moonbuilding as “wildly creative and technically spot on”, END TIMES was recorded during four solitary stays at Dungeness. Blending voice, electronics and field recordings, the album is a bold yet beautiful container for grieving the collapse of ecosystems, objective reality and our shared humanity, while honouring the beauty that remains and the mystery of prophecy and future-gazing.

Hag Stones — symbols of truth, portals and protection — recur throughout END TIMES’ artwork. To open the evening, Tony Birch will premier a live solo Hag Stone performance, where Hag Stones are threaded through piano strings to create shifting harmonics, while controlling the movement of sound in three dimensions across the architecture of the Durbar Hall.

Isobel Anderson is a music-maker, sound artist and performer whose work explores sound, voice, landscape and change. Her work has been presented at V&A Storehouse and Fotografia Europea, broadcast across BBC Radio 2, 3, 4 and 6 Music, and amassed over 30 million Spotify streams.

Tony Birch is a sound artist whose work finds resonance in structures and materials eroded by the elements.

Be quick! There are a limited amount of Ticket + Album Bundles available for this show.

Please note: General Admission tickets DO NOT come with an album.
