Nicolas Field (UK/CH):  drums & electronics
Thomas Florin (CH):  piano

Re–Ghoster are a trio of pianist Thomas Florin, drummer Nicolas Field and Revox tape maestro Valerio Tricoli. The acoustic instruments are fed to tape, magnetised, digested, re-eaten, reworked and regurgitated again by the machine.
For the release tour of their amazing new record ‘Or not all’, they have invited the renowned New York experimental trumpeter Nate Wooley to join them.

Mordecoli

Mordecoli is a new duo of Ecka Mordecai on cello (Takuroku Records) and Valerio Tricoli on Revox and electronics. They had an excellent residency recording at Cafe Oto last year, and we’re very excited to hearing them play together.

Charlotte Keeffe – Sound Brush / trumpet, flugelhorn and compositions
Ashley John Long – double bass
Ben Handysides – drums
Moss Freed – guitar

With her Right Here, Right Now Quartet Charlotte Keeffe enables raw musical ingredients and individual expressions to come together and flow. She is captivated by trumpeters like Jaimie Branch, Peter Evans, Tomasz Stańko, Nate Wooley and Lester Bowie, and inspired by abstract painters – referring to her horns as ‘Sound Brushes’.

“The radical spirit of offhand precarity which radiates throughout this session frequently bubbles over into an effervescent sense of the imperative to explore. In a word? Fearless.” – PRESTO MUSIC

“A messy emporium of raw, raucous realness. Alive.  Keeffe and her quartet nailed it.” – Sammy Stein, FREE JAZZ BLOG

“Charlotte Keeffe is rapidly developing a reputation as one of UK’s finest improvisers” – Tony Dudley-Evans

Charlotte vividly describes the quartet as “a breeding ground for squelchy, sploshy, splashy sound-brush playing …Overtly over-blowing, splitting, splattering, squirming, squeaking and squealing out ALIVE! Howling and hooting, chomping and chaffing… Dusty, distorted, flimsy, fragile, manic, ghostly, guttural sound strokes rip through whirlwinds and whirlpools of wholesome gooey-sound-dough! A turbulent tease, staggering, swaying, abruptly plunging into intentional vagueness… A messy emporium of raw, raucous realness. Alive. Right Here, Right Now. It is as it is…”

Larker

Matt Clark is an improvising guitarist and composer from Brighton, drawing on free jazz, avant-garde, experimental and electronic music. He is currently working with MC3, a London-based improvising trio with Charlotte Keeffe and James Edmunds – the trio engages in musical conversations and sonic exploration; interweaving dialogues between three distinctive voices: guitar, trumpet and drums; and with Simian Carbuncle, a guitar duo exploring the sonic possibilities of unorthodox techniques, with regular collaborator Ade Southby.

Annie Kerr draws on a wide range of influences to create improvised soundworlds using violin, piano and text in performance, session work and studio collaborations with dancers, artists, actors and filmmakers. She plays in regular and ad hoc combos with musicians in Brighton and London.

Toma Sapir has drummed with Wax Machine, Rokurokubi, Ancient Infinity Orchestra and Daisy Rickman among many others.
