Testing the Water presents a live performance featuring Mélodie Blaison, Poole, and Daksh at Shai Space in London on March 11, 2026. Mélodie Blaison is a Brussels-based flautist and experimental composer. Her work transcends the boundaries of instrumental performance, sound art, and immersive listening. With a background from the Conservatoire, she integrates visual arts into her sound creations. Blaison employs a mix of transverse and ceramic flutes, field recordings, and analog electronics to construct intimate soundscapes that explore storytelling through music. Poole, hailing from Glasgow, is an electronic sound artist whose work merges environmental music, post-digital sound practices, and folk traditions. His performances are immersive and textural, oscillating between meditative sounds and fractured digital landscapes. Poole’s recent projects include crafting basalt sculptures and a lithophone from slate, which he uses to create new material for his live performances. Daksh is a DJ who gained experience at Edinburgh's Sneaky Pete's, where he runs his own night called Membrane. He has opened for various artists, including James K and feeo. His recent set at Ormside Projects showcased warm ambient textures and field recordings, highlighting his ability to balance stillness and tension within his mixes.
