Catch a different sound artist every Saturday at Octave Maze Live 'til October 10

Ever wondered what sound actually looks like? A kinetic sculpture that dances to a piano at Asvin Cultural and Contemporary Art Space is about to show you, one Saturday at a time, and it doubles as a rather good reason to be somewhere interesting while the rain comes down outside.

Octave Maze Live runs every Saturday from August 1-October 10, handing the space over to a rolling cast of musicians, sound artists, performers, DJs and creative practitioners. Each week brings a fresh name and a completely different approach, from contemporary music and live electronics through performance art, improvisation and all manner of hybrid work.

At the centre of it all sits Octave Maze, a kinetic installation by Wit Pimkanchanapong that runs on a counterweight system. It grows out of the artist's ongoing fascination with the maze, a motif that keeps surfacing across his recent projects. The mechanism responds to all 88 keys of a modern piano, translating every note as motion. Watch closely and sound becomes something you can see, the room never quite settling as the music passes through it.

So whether new music is your thing, experimental performance gets you going or you simply fancy something a little different, this is a rare chance to catch a proper mix of local and international talent in one room, week after week.
