Last July I moved to Manchester and am excited to now be presenting my first concert in the city in collaboration with the Berlin-based French hornist Samuel Stoll:
BUZZED
Saturday, 20 February 2016 @ Nexus Arts Cáfe
2 Dale Street, Manchester, M1 1JW [click for map]
Doors – 8:00pm / Concert – 8:30pm
FREE (£5 donation)
Samuel and I have been collaborating for the last year, sending back and forth recorded improvisations and other materials. This concert is a combination of our own repertoires and the piece that emerged out of our collaboration with each other. BUZZED will feature recently composed experimental music and performances for solo voice and french horn in which I’m turned into a still-life, Samuel displays feats of embouchuric dexterity and stamina, we both explore a sonic and aural study of laughter, and soon-to-be legacy media are barely brought to life with the nylon hairs of violin bows.
