|regiment|
regiment is an artist working across sound, installation, performance and video.
Coming from a background and experience of collectives in theatre and live art, regiment's practice is often collaborative.
Their ongoing research seeks to engage with the event and the exhibition as a medium, and aims at approaching the confluence of the sonic, interactive and performative to explore the possibility of a 'performance without performers'. regiment's interest in the site-specific opens up to address ways of seeing/participating and puts into motion wider material and theoretical questions of control and mastery, authorship and spectatorship.
Their sound practice is based around improvisation and features an array of electro-acoustic, semi-modular and analogue gear, including tape, radio, contact microphones and field recordings.
regiment holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art, London (2020-2022).

Through their intervention, they respond to the space by extracting elements from the physical architecture and transforming them into sculptural objects which also serve as instruments for sound performance. In doing so, they present what could be an echo, an aural mirror of the space, or ‘site dreaming itself’. By breathing life into its forms, Heyse Ip and regiment have reimagined the Five Years space not as an empty vessel, but as a dynamic canvas for sonic experimentation.
'Eleni Ikoniadou x Nkisi in Conversation' was curated and organised by regiment and Julie Dusuel as part of Hybrid Realities festival. The event took place at Ormside Projects in London.
Eleni Ikoniadou is in conversation with producer, DJ and label founder Nkisi.
Nkisi is the alias of Melika Ngombe Kolongo, an artist raised in Belgium and now living in London. She's a producer, DJ and co-founder of NON Records, a collective of African artists and of the diaspora, using sound as their primary media, to articulate the visible and invisible structures that create binaries in society, and in turn distribute power. She's also a regular at the Endless club night, playing an exciting mix of fast-paced music that draws from many influences (from central and west African club tracks to gabber and doomcore. While producing her own tracks, she goes for a heavily layered, relentless sound, often playing with collective memory.
This conversation with Nkisi was curated and organised by regiment and Julie Dusuel as part of Hybrid Realities festival, an artist-led initiative of the MA Contemporary Art Practice (CAP) course at the Royal College of Art.
regiment will be joining artist-run organisation Five Years!
2023 sees regiment joining artist-run organisation Five Years!
Founded in 1998, Five Years’ initial aim was to set up a gallery which was artist-run and where programming would maintain a direct relationship to practice. Five Years continues to develop this aim of maintaining close links between the production and exhibition of work, and the discourse which informs it.

Nkisi (aka Melika Ngombe Kolongo)
Nkisi produces intense, powerful sonics influenced by ancient Kongo rhythms, rhythmic noise, our planetary electromagnetic grid, and experimental improvisation. The creative musician and visual artist is one of the co-founders of NON Worldwide. She recently launched her label INITIATION and research platform The Secret Institute, exploring the secrets and mysteries of vibrational rhythm, the ritual as a socio-political tool, invisible gestural sonics and strategies of trance.
