Awkward Moments Series
Awkward Moments is a duo comprising of Mimi Xu - producer, electronic composer and visual creative director, and Gillian Maguire - classical multi instrumentalist and lead vocalist. Since their first show at Houghton Festival 2018, they continue to represent the best in contemporary and immersive performative art. The pair layer interweaving electronic beats over organic instruments and atmospheric vocals to mirror the relationship between the tangible and the ethereal; between fragmentation and order. This concept is further explored visually using multimedia projection of abstract moving imagery. In the words of Virginia Woolf - 'I see myself as a fish in a stream; deflected; held in place; but cannot describe the stream.' This is their attempt to recreate that stream of existence through sound experiments and psychedelic visual journeys. Their first six track LP 'An Entropic Cycle' was released on 13th of March 2020 and is available on all digital platforms. During lockdown, the duo worked on a series of audio visual mixtapes featured on System Magazine, Quarantine Radio and Live for Love charity. Over the summer of 2020 they released 4 remixes taken from their debut album named 'An Entropic Remix EP' – out now on all digital platforms. They have a track coming out on the compilation album 'Ambient Layers' being release on k7 records on December 4th 2020. In addition Awkward Moments also hosts a monthly radio show 'An Entropic Hour' on OpenLab Radio. The duo is currently working on their next album, collaborating with Al Doyle (Hot Chip, LCD Sound System) and Ghost Culture.​
