DESCRIPTION:
Bela Emerson is a pioneering electric cellist who performs passionate, evocative and spontaneously-composed solo pieces using live processing. Her music harnesses many different genres whilst creating noiseworlds which are all her own. Bela's performances are the stuff of legend: intense and exhilarating; her command of her instrument and ability to attune to the uniqueness of the moment combine to produce music that is remarkably different and always spellbinding.

This event, at arts space Coachwerks (Brighton), was the only UK performance of a fully-improvised collaboration between Bela & live painter Carlos Vera (USA). The audience were also invited to make their own visual interpretations of the performance, which were simultaneously projected onto the screen behind Bela.
