Safehouse Worthing returns this week!  Based in Anne Street cafe, just a short walk from Worthing Pier, it’s an open session organised by Safehouse regular Alan Jackson.

Violins, trumpets, bowed saw, bicycle wheel, pedals, electronics and more….

Sylvia Hallett is a multi-instrumentalist and composer moving between violin, bowed bicycle wheel, saw, hurdy-gurdy, electronics and found objects. David Toop, The Heliocentrics and Clive Bell among many others.

Chris Dowding is a trumpeter and workshop leader based in Norwich. He performs regularly around the UK with Natural Causes and Rude 2.0 (with the trombonist Annie Whitehead), and leads the Moonrise Trio.

Incus, Malleus and Stapes

Improv trio utilising some aleatoric methods:

Alan Jackson— plays the “Electric Bullroarer” – part homemade electronics, part modular synthesizer, it is a kit of parts for exploring feedback and resonance. It uses pressure, tilt, motion, microphones and string to control its sound, usually shaping some kind of feedback process.

Marc Muir likes to use his mouth to explore the more disconcerting facets of his mind.

Simon Mclennan uses guitar and electronics to explore harmony and resonance.

+ Wildcard Quartet
