Lunchmeat presents Kara-Lis Coverdale live, Adam Badí Donoval live

We're bringing a shining star of post-classical, ambient and minimalist music, Canadian musician Kara-Lis Coverdale for a unique intimate concert in the majestic walls of St. Agnes cathedral.

Her vivid and dynamic live shows made her a festival favorite at CTM, Rewire, Unsound and beyond. Her albums have landed on year-end lists by The Quietus, The Wire and NPR, with The Guardian calling her latest release "a quiet ecstasy from a composer without boundaries."

She interlocks several musical systems and languages, drifting softly between them and playing with classical composition and research-driven modernism, the physical and the technological. Precise and playful, her music balances the edge between reality and a dream.

With seven releases to her name, Coverdale is also an avid collaborator, with credits on records by Tim Hecker, Lee Bannon and Actress, contributing to reworks of music by Caterina Barbieri and Alif Hilal (fka Lyra Pramuk). On stage, she has opened for Caribou, Big Thief and Death Grips, and performed as part of Floating Points' Promises Ensemble alongside Shabaka Hutchings.

This performance is co-presented by MUTEK, with the financial support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Adam Badí Donoval will present a new live show that builds on a soundtrack he composed for Milan Mazúr’s film Eva, set to premiere at the Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival.

His solo music builds around repeating and intertwining motifs, whether home-made tape loops, bass lines or instrumental and vocal samples. Much of his recorded output is inspired by both Central European literature and contemporary experimental music, and it balances gentleness and starkness, hope and despair, reflecting (on) the complexity of our lived experience.

Besides making music published on labels like The Trilogy Tapes, mappa and Maple Death Records, he also runs Warm Winters and 42far, mixes and masters records, and engages in various freelance curatorial and educational initiatives.
