Rick Feds, who is a renowned Latvian finger-drumming performer and audio/visual artist worked with modern Ukrainian sound producer Monoconda and digital artist Olha Lebiedeva.

Their trio created a live performance for Residence which they describe in this way: “The performance is based on the feeling of darkness and the experience of the war. But we are sure that light will overcome in the end. To reinforce this concept, music is made with a solar synthesizer, where the light drives the pitch using optical sensor technology.”
