IKLECTIK presents,
Blood Music + Andy Spragg + Will Montgomery
Tuesday 22 November 2022 | Doors: 7:30pm | Start: 8pm
Tickets: £8 Advance / £10 OTD https://link.dice.fm/ed8a0bbb876e
Beats and noise: Blood Music, Andy Spragg and Will Montgomery present new rhythm-based music that interfaces, this way and that, with their poetry commitments. Each performer puts textures and tensions modulated by verbal sensibilities into play with oblique sequencing, de-kiltered patterns and ambiguous auditory objects. Expect: hums and rasps, unmetered surges, dissolving silences, sublimated rage. Disc Jacky will dazzle up the intermissions.
Programme:
