The Subsònic festival, dedicated to showcasing current experimental musical practices, takes place at L’Auditori, a cultural center located in the heart of Barcelona. Contrechamps has been invited to perform But Remember what you have had II by Stephen O'Malley, in a setup that surrounds the audience across two levels, exploring the phenomena of amplification and immersion.
