about

Anne La Berge and Phil Maguire's musical partnership has included ongoing musical and video collaborations including concerts and releases in both the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Their work has been described as experimental within the electro-acoustic musical style. They play at volume levels much softer than mainstream electronic music and the acoustic instrument in their duo is an electronically processed flute.

Building on their signature approach to detailed drones that colour the perception of time and place, Site V offers a fresh glance on the dialogues between humans, machines and energy.

Maguire & La Berge’s works are named after cities. For Site V they were inspired to find a place in the English Channel where their home cities of London and Amsterdam meet. During their research they discovered the Dutch wind turbine farm Borssele Wind Farm Site V innovation site. The site has experimental goals, including floating wind turbines stationed where the water depths are too great for fixed foundations, marking a turning point in sustainability and a project designed to test advanced technologies.
Site V weaves an emotional narrative from data, concepts of wind turbines, and personal reflections on place, wrapped in the poetics of the Borssele Site V innovation site.
