landofmilk / LIVE DIY DEMOS

by Matthew Cannon

New Media Room - 28.04.22 - 09.06.22

As landofmilk, Cape Town-based musician and writer Matthew Cannon bridges roots and loops by singing and playing original mbira-based material, with an occasional ancient tune refreshed and thrown into the pot. Self-taught, the sound is diverse and perhaps non-traditional, yet the classical African instrument's resonance shines through.

LIVE DIY DEMOS comprises 11 lo-fi video clips made by the artist during 2018 to 2021, and specially compiled into a 23-minute film screened on a vintage monitor in the AVA Gallery. Through the course of the exhibition landofmilk will perform live, both in the New Media Room and elsewhere around the gallery.
