Awkward Moments Series V - "An Entropic Cycle" is a collaboration between Mimi Xu and Maguire. Premiered at Houghton Festival 2018 - Xu brought in classically trained multi- instrumentalist and singer Maguire to co-write and perform the 40 minute piece of music. The pair layer interweaving electronic beats over organic instruments and atmospheric vocals to mirror the relationship between the tangible and the ethereal; between fragmentation and order. This concept is further explored visually using multimedia projection of abstract video content. In the words of Virginia Woolf - 'I see myself as a fish in a stream; deflected; held in place; but cannot describe the stream.' This is their attempt to recreate that stream of existence through music and visuals.
