Afternoon
everyone!
Just a quick
reminder from us that tomorrow we find ourselves lucky enough to have Colin Self performing for us at the
Courtyard Theatre in Hoxton. Self’s
music explores the transformative power of the human voice, drawing on a
diverse set of influences that include queer theory, liturgical ritual, trap
rhythms and electro-acoustic sound design. Colin was last in London as part of Holly Herndon’s
band supporting Radiohead no less, for this solo performance expect a more
forlorn, lush and absorbing turn. Liberez
will also be perform tomorrow night, setting the scene with their loping
dissonance and unquiet rituals, cannot wait!
That’s not us
done for the week though as on Friday, we’ll be working with Café OTO on an
evening with Joshua Abrams. Joshua
will be presenting his current Natural Information Society project which sees him integrating
composition and improvisation to create hypnotic, highly rhythmic, psychedelic
environments centred around the sound of his Guimbri (a Gnawan lute). He’s also
invited Evan Parker to lend his
lungs to these performances, who along with Joshua will present a duo set at
the start of the night!
Upset The Rhythm is so busy right now
right? Well, there’s no let up next week either as we have CC Dust, Static Palm, Ty Segall & The Muggers, Ausmuteants, Eartheater and Gabriel
Saloman all booked in for shows. Check our listings below for full details
and ticket links for all. We’ve just added a newly announced show for Daniel Wakeford next month too. Daniel is a singer-songwriter from the UK’s burgeoning learning
disabled music scene, a Carousel artist based in Brighton and going out on tour
for the first time ever. He will be promoting his new album, “The Songs of
Gigs” in accessible venues to integrated audiences. He’s too charismatic to sum
up quickly so please do check him out!

COLIN SELF utilises the voice, the body and
computer software in his practise to open up a highly distinctive space that
challenges the boundaries between human consciousness and technology. His music
explores the transformative power of the human voice drawing on a diverse set
of influences that include queer theory, liturgical ritual, trap rhythms and
electro-acoustic sound design. He is known for his highly charged, physical
performances that combine his vocal virtuosity with choreographed movement and
electronic processing, unfolding into a compelling play of transmutation.
‘Elation’ is the debut solo release from Colin Self. The album is comprised of
music from The Elation Series, a six-part opera demonstrating themes of
transformation and global consciousness. He has performed in galleries
worldwide, from the global queer underground to contemporary art galleries such
as PS1 MoMA and Issue Project Room. He is also a close collaborator of Holly
Herndon, contributing vocals/production on her latest record ‘Platform’ as well
as being a member of her new live set up.

LIBEREZ is the latest incarnation of a long running music collaboration between John Hannon and Pete Wilkins. Since their debut album 'The Letter' (Alter Records), the project has also involved multi-instrumentalist Tom James Scott and vocalist Nina Bosnic too. Repetitve dual vocal patterns are augmented with amplified percussion, loping rhythms, guitar and hypnotic violin dissonance to create a sense of abstracted ritual that can't help but draw listeners further into the labyrinth. Since ‘The Letter’, Liberez have released an LP lurching around Britain's industrial past called 'Sane Men Surround' on Savoury Days and followed that up last year with ‘All Tense Now Lax’ Night School; a tense, gut-wrenching listen wrought with carefully considered space, the range of techniques and the depth of atmosphere is staggering. The album is allowed to breathe and evolve, with field recordings, industrial patterns and alienated instrumentation woven together seamlessly.

losing its modern bearings" and The Wire named his record Natural
Information (Eremite) one of the top 50 recordings of 2010. The Village Voice
picked his record Unknown Known as “one of the top 10 jazz albums of 2013”. He
was a founding member of the “back porch minimalism” collective Town and
Country and with Matana Roberts and Chad Taylor, the trio Sticks and Stones.

Natural Information Society is the name of Joshua Abrams’ group that formed in the wake of his records for Eremite. Live the music centres around the sound of the guimbri (a Gnawan lute), integrating composition and improvisation to create hypnotic, highly rhythmic, psychedelic environments with an orientation towards uplift. For this show they'll be joined for a very special performance with the great Evan Parker.

EVAN PARKER has been a consistently innovative presence in British free music since the 1960s. Parker played with John Stevens in the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, experimenting with new kinds of group improvisation and held a long-standing partnership with guitarist Derek Bailey. The two formed the Music Improvisation Company and later Incus Records. He also has tight associations with European free improvisations - playing on Peter Brötzmann's legendary 'Machine Gun' session (1968), with Alexander Von Schlippenbach and Paul Lovens (A trio that continues to this day), Globe Unity Orchestra, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, and Barry Guy's London Jazz Composers Orchestra (LJCO).
