Step into a world where sound becomes architecture and memory dissolves into signal. British electronic musician Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) brings his singular live performance to the stage—an immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between music, surveillance, and storytelling.

Renowned for transforming intercepted transmissions and everyday sonic fragments into richly textured compositions, Scanner crafts performances that feel both intimate and expansive. Pulsing rhythms, ghostly voices, and evolving atmospheres unfold in real time, creating a space where technology meets emotion with striking precision.

This is not simply a concert—it’s a live act of discovery. Each performance is unique, shaped by place, audience, and moment, drawing listeners into a deeply attentive state where the unseen becomes audible.

Scanner will be supported with an opening set by The Metamorph. The Metamorph (Gavin Brick) has been composing and recording with hardware synthesisers since 1982. His work is often ambient and experimental in nature, with a nod to the Radiophonic Workshop and sci-fi film scores. Live performances are predominantly improvised, with past shows including Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, Galeri Harlech, Victoria Gallery and Museum and FACT in Liverpool. The Metamorph also played synths for Pete Wylie and The Mighty Wah on their sold out UK tour in 2022. Music releases have appeared on Moolakii Club Audio Interface, and the acclaimed electronic label Castles in Space, among others. Scanner made a guest appearance on the Metamorph album The Man on the 99th Floor in 2023.
