CONVERGENCE 12
KROSS COLLECTIVE presents: CONVERGENCE XIII, an evening where sound, video, language & performance merge into shared terrain.
Opening the evening will be Kross Collective co-founder Days Like Television, presenting an enveloping A/V set of electronics, electric guitar, and found-footage visuals.
Following this will be HOTARU, a guitar and electronics duo formed by Tatsumi Ryusui (guitar) and Makoto Sakamoto (electronics), both members of the Berlin-based experimental noise band Noctiluca. Derived from Noctiluca’s concept of layered colors and dense textures, HOTARU shifts the focus toward a more minimal and intimate sonic dialogue. Guitar harmonics and electronic sounds drift through space, occasionally flashing as sharp noise, slowly transforming like an evolving abstract drawing.
CONVERGENCE XII invites attentive listening, porous boundaries, and the quiet thrill of disorientation.

Daniel Bryden is an experimental musician and video artist from Newcastle upon Tyne, currently based in Berlin. He releases music as Days Like Television.
Drawing on dissociated sound sources and fragmented textures, their work balances visceral intensity with a melodic, nostalgic beauty. The result is a practice that is affecting yet resists resolution—drawing the listener into a sonic encounter shaped by absence, erosion, and the aesthetics of disappearance.
He has presented live AV performances across Europe at venues such as ICA (London), Nalen (Stockholm), La Vallée (Brussels), Mayfield Depot (Manchester), ACUD MACHT NEU (Berlin), and VEKKS (Vienna). His debut album - ‘This Will Have Been the Past’ - was released June 2024 on Bonambi.
