Stephen O'Malley, Nik Void and more will present live sets as part of the inaugural COMMON Multiverse Initiative

A number of artists on Editions Mego's roster will play live sets this weekend for a brand new online festival called COMMON Multiverse Initiative.

The event, which kicked off on Saturday (March 13), is the brainchild of online community space and playlisting platform, Currents.fm. Each day, different collectives and labels – including female:pressure, Infinite Machine and Fever AM – are curating the online event's programme.

This Sunday (March 21), the curation falls to Editions Mego, with the likes of Nik Void, KMRU, The Transcendence Orchestra and Julia Reidy all set to play live. 'Avaeken', a piece by Stephen O'Malley, will also be performed by Zwerm Ensemble, while Powell will join up with his a ƒolder collaborators Marte Eknæs and Michael Amstad for a live performance.

The stream will kick off at 5pm GMT, and will be broadcast twice with the second run-through to begin at 11pm GMT. COMMON Multiverse Initiative is free to all to attend.
