CONVERGENCE 12
KROSS COLLECTIVE presents: CONVERGENCE XII, an evening where sound, video, language & performance merge into shared terrain.
Opening the event will be Baphomet Vernacular (Diana Fonseca), whose work navigates between the human auditory and the microscopic, exploring how hidden sonic landscapes can be revealed and amplified.
Following this, Kross Collective co-founder Days Like Television will present an enveloping A/V set of electronics, electric guitar, and found-footage visuals.
Closing the event will be HOTARU, a guitar and electronics duo formed by Tatsumi Ryusui (guitar) and Makoto Sakamoto (electronics), exploring shifting layers of guitar harmonics and electronics.
CONVERGENCE XII invites attentive listening, porous boundaries, and the quiet thrill of disorientation.
Days Like Television

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.
HOTARU
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.
Diana Fonseca
Diana Fonseca is a sound designer and noise artist based in Berlin. Her work navigates between the human auditory and the microscopic, exploring how hidden sonic landscapes can be revealed and amplified.
Her practice includes small craftmashifts creating self-made electronic devices, playing with horn instruments, and broken machines. She utilizes these tools to construct immersive environments that challenge traditional listening, often transforming found objects and everyday sounds into textured compositions. Her practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of the non immediate realm, seeking out the subtle vibrations and micro details that exist just beyond our immediate perception.
Diana has an MA in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts from Berlin's University of the Arts (UdK) and a BA in Social Anthropology (ENAH).
