Dali de Saint Paul, Maxwell Sterling, Charlie Hope & Rebecca Salvadori

'Penumbra' is an experimental performance created by vocalist Dali de Saint Paul, electronic composer and double bassist Maxwell Sterling, and visual artists Charlie Hope and Rebecca Salvadori. Emerging from a collaborative process between mediums, it comprises improvised music and sound structured by a score of video and lights. Commissioned by Outlands.

Dali de Saint Paul
A relentless collaborator and improviser based in Bristol for a long time, Dali is the voice of post industrial duo Harrga, female improvising ensemble Viridian, trio dark idl, supergroup Ondata Rossa, and the consistent element in her recently-concluded ‘self-exploding’ project EP/64.

Maxwell Sterling
A producer, composer and double bassist whose output spans regular collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, filmmakers and fashion designers. His music creates points of reference between precision sound synthesis and acoustic traditions, as heard on solo releases for The Death of Rave and AD93, and his 2022 EP with Martha Skye Murphy, Distance on Ground (American Dreams).

Charlie Hope
Creating installations and performances which use light and space along with elements like video and coding to generate sensory experiences, Charlie Hope has presented solo work and collaborations with other artists and musicians at galleries, clubs and public spaces across Europe.

Rebecca Salvadori
Working at the intersection of video art and documentary, Rebecca Salvadori’s film works are multifaceted portraits of moments, people and environments, moving between personal and transpersonal scales. Over the last 15 years she has consistently engaged with experimental music, exploring ways to connect the moving image with sound practices, live performance and alternative forms of storytelling.
