Ale Hop (Alejandra Cárdenas) is a Peruvian-born artist. Cárdenas began her career in Lima's underground music scene in the 2000s. Her work encompasses various formats such as live shows, albums, multimedia artworks and research. Her live performances merge the physical qualities of sound with raw affective states. She builds layers of sound by maneuvering an intricate repertoire of electric guitar techniques to create music of deep intensity. In the past year, she has initiated various collaborative practices, including Agua Dulce with percussionist Laura Robles, radically mutating Afro-Peruvian rhythms, and Near and Remote Activation Practices, with sound artist Tatiana Heuman, which draws inspiration from South American organology and storytelling. Her work has been presented internationally at institutions and festivals, including MUTEK, Unsound, CTM, Sonic Acts, Taiwan C-LAB, REWIRE, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, New York's Museum of Arts and Design, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Somerset House Studios, Heroines of Sound, among others.

The Long Form duo present Rebecca Lane's solo for quarter-tone bass flute and electronics and Jon Heilbron's work for multiple chord organs. The two pieces, conceived as independent solo works, flow into one another, each reflecting a unique perspective on sustained tones, harmonic friction, microtonal fluctuations & psychoacoustic phenomena.
This performance is kindly supported by the Goethe Institut.
Rebecca Lane is a musician who focuses on extended just intonation & alternate tunings and the perceptual and relational aspects of sounding/activating this material with others. Her practice is informed by ongoing collaborations with composer-performers (such as Clara de Asís) and within various ensembles (including Harmonic Space Orchestra), utilizing various flutes (in particular, Kingma System quarter-tone flutes).
