Spatial Sound Performances: Signal Dreaming
FACT Liverpool, Liverpool, L1 4DQ
Thursday 3rd December 2026 6:00PM
An evening of performances from Liverpool-based experimental sound artists, Grey Streak, Wendy Smith and coby o·bi, presented for the first time on IKLECTIK’s immersive spatial audio system at FACT.
Grey Streak is the recording project of Liverpool artist Seb Westwood. Taking inspiration from online ephemera, from ASMR to TikTok trends, livestreaming and the struggle for attention, his production samples familiar and uncanny sounds into a glitching, left-field bedroom pop. His most recent project, 'Transport for Liverpool City Region', was released on Never Sleep and commissioned by Mark Leckey and Tate to be performed in Birkenhead. Grey Streak is also the co-founder of SINK Recordings, releasing archive mixes and productions by artists worldwide.
Wendy Smith is an electroacoustic composer and sound artist. Her compositional
work centres on forgotten, marginalised, and underrepresented voices, stories and
histories that have been overlooked or lost. Her practice blends field recordings, found sounds, and modular synthesis with oral histories, archival materials, and sound-library sources to create immersive, narrative-led compositions shaped by these untold stories.
coby o·bi is a Liverpool-based artist who makes, finds, and writes noises. They combine sounds from contemporary classical, avant-jazz, musique concrète, and noise, crafting soundscapes, songs, and pieces which try to find the beauty of the sounds of the world around us.
This event is programmed by PEARL, a new sound art and performance event series by Lola de la Mata and Jon Davies. PEARL aims to bring together experimental composers and artists from Liverpool and beyond through live events, gatherings and workshops.
We want everyone to have a comfortable and accessible experience. This workshop takes place in The Box on the ground floor of FACT, which offers step-free wheelchair access and dedicated spaces.
