Thursday November 29th | Friday November 30th | Saturday December 1st
Cochrane Theatre, Holborn, London
Two dozen performers from around the world are given free reign to redefine music. Over three days they coax incredible sounds from all manner of instrument, in every conceivable manner. Performers include
the elder statesman of Japanese sound-art Yasunao Tone; mesmeric minimalist legend Charlemagne Palestine; and Norbert Möslang, enigmatic torturer of household electrical goods.
Group improvisations, drawing on diverse talents thrown in at the deep end of spontaneity, feature Tony Buck, superlative drummer of Australia's best export, The Necks; brilliant Belgian string virtuoso
Julia Eckhardt; and sensational American trumpeter Peter Evans.
And to surprise ourselves, some players at the very edge of audio arts: Taku Sugimoto, whose guitar playing is so restrained as to stretch the laws of time; Bob Levene, who uses turntables as audio
sculpture; and Helena Gough, who reveals the laptop as a landscape teeming with twittering life.
