news | ‘Intercessions’May 13th 2011 , 8.00 pm Shoreditch (St Leonard’s) Church, Shoreditch High St, London /E1 6JN We speak not of the archaic theological doctrine, whereby prayers are offered to dead saints who may then intercede directly to God on our behalf. We do, however, seek to steal a little of that image. Our Intercessions are of a far more earthly nature, and occur not in heaven, but in the austerely beautiful surroundings of St Leonard’s Church, Shoreditch. Neither do we come to pray, but to make sound. Sound surrounded by little pools of silence. Sound from many ages, transplanted into strange and unfamiliar contexts. The ghostly beauty of Johann Sebastian Bach interceded by Free Improvisation: how strange… and short Bartok duets for violin and viola, each interceded by new music that is freshly created in the moment; music from Eugène Ysaÿe and contemporary work by Christian Wolff, all spliced up with the silence , noise and unpredictable flutter of free improvisation. The result : a complex fabric of musical interactions, stitched loosely together and fused into two movements of experimental juxtaposition. Intercessions – those who play on the side of the angels: Classical & contemporary works performed by: Noura Sanatian, violin /Benedict Taylor, viola ‘3 pieces for Violin and Viola’ – Christian Wolff Satoko Fukuda, violin ‘Obsession’ for solo violin, Eugène Ysaÿe Intercessions- the petitioners Free Improvisations & extemporised responses performed by: Niko Meinhold, grand piano / Noel Taylor, clarinet / Guillaume Viltard, contrabass /Mark Sanders, percussion Plus additional intercessions from: Satoko Fukuda, violin / Noura Sanatian, violin /Benedict Taylor, viola |

news | an international three set evening of improvised music on Tuesday 26th of AprilMatthias Müller on trombone and Christian Marien on drums sound like what they are: a working band. They met in 2003 in Berlin, Germany’s capital of improvised music, and their collaboration resulted in the foundation of the duo „Superimpose“ in 2006. Since then they very consciously developing their music, using and at the same time questioning the full range of musical parameters such as dynamics, density, rhythm, sound, form and tonality. They take paths you can only discover after playing together for a long time with high intensity. The outcome is a raw music, at the same time brutal and peaceful, ugly and nice. One major goal of their work as a duo is meeting and exchanging with other artists. Among others they collaborated with drummer Michael Zerang, trombonist Johannes Bauer, saxophonists Tobias Delius, Matthias Schubert, Frank Gratkowski and Jack Wright, guitarist Olaf Rupp, bassists Wilbert de Joode, Christian Weber and Clayton Thomas (with whom they have the trio “The Astronomical Unit”). In 2007 they released their debut-CD “Superimpose” on the Portuguese label “Creative Sources”. In 2009 they released their second CD “Talk Talk” on the English label “Leo Records”.
The second set of the evening will be the 1st appearance as a trio of London-based improvisers Grundik Kazyansky, Seymour Wright & Guillaume Viltard (electronics, sax & double-bass). The last and quite unusal duet - violin & drums – is coming from Israel and feature Ilan Volkov & Ram Gabay. —————————– Arch1, Cranberry Lane, West Ham, London E16 4PD / 8.30 pm / £ 6 HOW TO ARRIVE: Jubilee Line, DLR to Canning Town.
