IKLECTIK presents,
Overtones and Undertones #2
Thursday 12 January 2023 | Doors: 7:30pm | First Act: 8pm
Our Kiosk opens 1 hour prior to doors.
Tickets: £10.50 Advance / £12 OTD https://link.dice.fm/x62fdf17e178
With Hans Koch (clarinet) – Jonas Kocher (accordion) – Gaudenz Badrutt (electronics); Graham Dunning (turntable & electronics) – Cath Roberts (electronics); Phil Durrant (amplified objects, dulcimer stick & electronics) – Marjolaine Charbin (piano, objects, contact mics, voice) – Jackie Walduck (vibraphone & electronics)
Following on the success of ‘Overtones and Undertones #1, we present a second concert of acoustic, electro-acoustic, electronic improvised music featuring musicians who explore overtones, microtones and subharmonics. The use of multiphonics, contact mics and electronics creates a rich bed of overtones, which sonically interact with precise chords and extended techniques. Feedback and oscillating systems and electro acoustic treatments, accentuate harmonic clusters and undertones fashioned from subharmonics, creating an ever-evolving soundscape.
We are particularly pleased to feature Trio Koch, Kocher, & Badrutt. Playing since 2014, this trio consists of three major figures of the Swiss improvised music scene. They play a subtle electro-acoustic improvised music, blending acoustic sources and electronics in a surprising way to create a music full of unpredictable events.
The concert will also feature the second performance of the Phil Durrant, Marjolaine Charbin, Jackie Walduck trio and the world premiere of a new duo of Graham Dunning and Cath Roberts.

Phil Durrant
Phil Durrant is a multi-instrumentalist improviser/composer/sound artist who currently performs solo and group concerts. As a violinist (and member of the Butcher/Russell/Durrant trio), he was one of the key exponents of the “group voice approach” style of improvised music. In the late 90s, his trio with Radu Malfatti and Thomas Lehn represented a shift to a more “reductionist” approach. Durrant performs regularly with the acoustic/electronic group Trio Sowari (with Bertrand Denzler and Burkhard Beins) and Mark Wastell’s The SEEN as well as the international electronic ensemble MIMEO with Keith Rowe, Kaff Matthews, Thomas Lehn a.o.
