Improvisation is often presented as prioritising dialogue between the players. In this concert, we will be focussing instead upon sound, in the belief that it is the quality of sound that actually conditions the possibilities of dialogue and, beyond this, the form of the music itself. For this reason, there will be a mixture of acoustic and electronic instruments (including voice), to allow for the widest possible range of new sounds within the parameters of an improvised performance.
Eddie Prevost
Eddie Prévost began his life in music as a jazz drummer. A recurring interest in this form has been maintained, although always with an experimental ethos. Along the way he has maintained his fifty-year plus experimental credentials with AMM and numerous other improvisation projects, including his now twenty-year long weekly workshop. But drumming has generally been backgrounded to his experimental percussion work.

John Butcher
Butcher is well known as a saxophonist who attempts to engage with the uniqueness of time and place. His music ranges through improvisation, his own compositions, multitracked pieces and explorations with feedback and unusual acoustics. Since the early 80s he has collaborated with hundreds of musicians – including Derek Bailey, Rhodri Davies, Andy Moor (EX), Phil Minton, Christian Marclay, Eddie Prevost, John Stevens’ SME, Gino Robair, Polwechsel, Mark Sanders, John Tilbury, and Okkyung Lee.

Emmanuelle Waeckerle
Emmanuelle Waeckerlé is a London based artist, composer and improviser interested in the materiality and musicality of language. Her practice evolves across multiple interconnected work zones – conceptual writing, performance, new musical composition, artist-publishing – and manifests as poetic text scores, occasions for their activation (installation, concert, workshop) and resulting image, text or sound works. Emmanuelle music and scores are distributed by Wandelweiser editions.

Tony Hardie-Bick
Tony Hardie-Bick is a musician and entrepreneur whose interests in electronics and music overlap significantly. An early musical epiphany while touring with legendary punk band Sham 69 inspired him to design and build a series of digital musical instruments, followed by commercial success with the world’s first touch screen that works by listening to the sound of touch. Tony’s recent return to musical instrument design has seen his distorting filter algorithms licensed to Ableton in 2022, followed by the construction of apparatus for listening to the sound of cities, live, in real time, anywhere in the world. The city sounds are filtered and distorted using a radical new instrument, as yet unnamed, in dialogue with other musicians. This concert will be the first to feature this, as yet unnamed, musical instrument.
