Italian producer and composer Lorenzo Senni arrives for the first time at L.E.V Matadero with a unique sound experience: Canone Infinito Xtended, a soundscape where the intensity resides in the unfinished and the emotional, which are built from the architecture of detail.

In this extended version of Canone Infinito, he unfolds a work in constant evolution, where each variation acts as an autonomous chapter within a story without closure. The result is an open structure, deliberately unfinished, that comes to life through live performance and dialogue between minimalist precision and emotional intensity.

True to his signature style he deconstructs Trance archetypes to delay the euphoria and eliminate the climax. Senni turns repetition into an expressive and conceptual tool. Canone Infinito Xtended moves between hypnotic arpeggiated sequences and bursts of controlled maximalism. A performance that can be read both as an immersive journey and as an exercise on the act of composing in the digital age.

Lorenzo Senni, based in Milan, is one of the most influential figures in contemporary electronic experimentation. His career includes releases on Warp Records, awards such as the Prix Ars Electronica, and collaborations with visual artists including Ed Atkins, John Divola, Anne de Vries, and Friedrich Kunath. In addition to founding the Presto!? Records, he has composed for film and dance. His work has been presented at festivals and venues such as the Tate Modern, Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou, Sonar, Primavera Sound, and the Serpentine Gallery.

L.E.V Matadero presents Incertitude, an audiovisual research created by Matthew Biederman and Alain Thibault. The work invites us to reflect on the tensions between trust and uncertainty, between sound and image, between algorithmic order and the beauty of chance.

In Incertitude, Biederman and Thibault fuse analog material with digital control to offer a synesthetic experience. The image is sculpted in real-time by algorithms that dialogue with synthetic and repetitive music, evoking the hypnotic minimalisms of a Philip Glass distorted by grainy layers of sound. This algorithmic structure gives way to an aesthetic that explores the materiality of the pixel and the sound grain in a narrative that alternates between musical and purely textural states.

The performance reveals the technical complexity that underlies its creation: digital systems can only function in conjunction with conventional computers, and it is in this hybridization that the work achieves its most outstanding expressive richness. As an aesthetic and sound research that never renounces experimentation, it is an immersion in expanded cinema and in repetition as a tool to transform the perceptual experience.

Matthew Biederman has been working at the intersection of light, space, and sound since 1990, exploring the complexities of perception through projects exhibited at events and venues such as the Biennale de Lyon, the Tokyo Museum of Photography, Ars Electronica, and the Biennale of Digital Art (CA). As co-founder of the Arctic Perspective initiative, together with Marko Peljhan, he has developed artistic and scientific projects in remote Arctic environments.

Alain Thibault is a key creator in the digital and sound art scene, as well as the founder and artistic director of events such as ELEKTRA and the BIAN (International Biennial of Digital Art) in Montreal. His music has been presented at festivals in Europe, Asia, and the United States, and his curatorial work has been instrumental in understanding the evolution of experimental sound in recent decades.
