Marija Kovačević: Music for Broken Violins
Marija Kovačević is based in New York and has traveled internationally to Paris to Sun Tunnels in Utah to Hvar in Croatia. She has been featured on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction and Freeness programme as well as WFMU’s Strength through Failure. In addition to three volumes of Music for Broken Violins, broken violins also appear on a duo cassette with Thierry Müller and Push Broken Duet with RoRo Perrot released on the Brighton-based label Chocolate Monk.
CRUSH!!!
CRUSH!!! are Sonic Pleasure (bricks, masonry, metal tools, flute), Mark Browne (saxophones, collected objects, percussion, game calls) and Paul Twine (guitar). The group utilises a vast array of found and home-made sound making devices combined with more traditional instruments. Sonic Pleasure is famed for her unique crafting of sound from bricks and masonry, reducing much of her instrumentation to dust by the end of a concert. Mark Browne plays castrato saxophone, broken glass, percussion, whistles and bones. Paul Twine will play guitar in an extraordinary manner.
Matt Clark, Toma Sapir and Annie Kerr
A new project by Brighton-based improvising guitarist Matt Clark. For each performance, a fluid trio of five or six musicians is formed, a constantly changing line-up decided by random selection events. Each performance centres around spontaneously created motifs and performers are selected randomly in real time.
This performance will feature a core trio of pianist Annie Kerr and drummer/percussionist Toma Sapir, also regulars on the Brighton improvised music scene.
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.
