Artist Statement:
With Way of Schesa we have moved away from the high-energy, Algorave style of previous works. The new experience favors an audiovisual experience that invites a more meditative, AlgoChill type of engagement. Obi Wan Codenobi (Lawson) and The Wookie (Smith) set out on a new adventure across the galaxy, settling into an interstitial span of hyperspace travel while cruising the uncharted territories near the Chiss Ascendancy. The Tsiraki is poured and an AlgoChill set starts to come over the speakers. A surprise for sure, as the first and only known previous AlgoChill had been years ago. Codenobi and Wookie unwind into these fleeting moments between epic battles and endless negotiations. In a sense this new AlgoChill performance is speculative of what one might experience traveling amongst millions of stars, using the force to bend and shape them, and sonically bringing their formations and constellations to life with patterns and wisps of smoke, coaxing signal from noise. Could this be how the ozyly-esehembo (sky-walkers) envisioned hyperspace routes without navigation computers?
