OUTLANDS present: PENUMBRA

OUTLANDS presents PENUMBRA //

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. 

+ DIALECT // Liverpool based sound artist / producer / composer (RVNG Itl)

Emerging from a collaborative process during a series of shared sessions, it comprises improvised music and sound

structured by a prepared score composed of video and lighting elements. Commissioned by Outlands, the

project will take shape over a series of live shows in spring 2024.

Dali de Saint Paul is known as a relentless collaborator and improviser, the voice of searing industrial duo

Harrga, female improvising ensemble Viridian, trio dark idl, supergroup Ondata Rossa, and as the

consistent element in her recently-concluded ‘self-exploding’ project EP/64, which existed for 64 live

shows, each with a different line up, and involving over forty musicians as well as visual artists over a six-

year period.

Maxwell Sterling’s multidisciplinary output as a sound producer, composer and double bassist spans

regular collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, filmmakers and fashion designers. His work

creates points of reference between precision sound synthesis and acoustic traditions, and can be heard

on lauded solo releases for The Death of Rave and AD93, and his 2022 EP with Martha Skye Murphy,

Distance on Ground (American Dreams).

Charlie Hope creates installations and performances which use light and space along with elements like

video and coding to generate sensory experiences. He has presented solo work and collaborations with

other artists and musicians at galleries, clubs and public spaces across Europe. He co-founded the

London Topophobia collective, and has recently presented projects with Amsterdam’s HetHEM, London’s

ICA and Nottingham Contemporary.

Rebecca Salvadori is a London based artist working at the intersection between video art and

documentary. Her film works act as constellations of highly personal and wilfully elusive heterogeneous

elements: 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.
