Open Concerts and Musical Performances 

Taking place in the Great Engines Hall of the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum,
the performances will offer an exploration of soundscapes where nostalgia
meets experimentation, while encouraging attentive collective listening. The
audience will be  invited to engage deeply with the music, enjoying sonic innovation and meticulous orchestration. 

Villa Albertine, Non-Event, the Goethe-Institut Boston and the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, are thrilled to present a pair of site-responsive solo performances by French and Belgian artist Roméo Poirier and American artist Kristina Warren. 

Roméo Poirier is a French electronic musician, who creates highly-textured, hybrid digital analog sound collages. He has released albums on the London-based record label Kit Records (Plage Arrière), the mancunian label Sferic (Hotel Nota) and Jan Jelinek’s Berlin-based imprint Faitiche (Living Room), transforming the layering of different times into a free-flowing pulse that sounds both nostalgic and mysteriously ahistorical.

Kristina Warren is a sound artist, composer, performer, and instrument 
builder-based  on Wampanoag and Narragansett land also known as 
Providence, Rhode Island. Both in  solo projects and in collaborative work 
including curating, Warren believes that collective  listening is a precious 
and political act. Warren uses self-designed and received audio tools to create 
performances, installations, and recorded works, whose recent “ASMR drone” 
style uses quieter volumes and careful orchestrations to help audiences perceive 
their own listening. 

Free with RSVP.
