SUMMARY:Peterloo in Sound
DESCRIPTION:Sound as Being will present ‘Peterloo in Sound’ a 5.1 sound composition by Mark Pilkington inspired by a historical event that came to be known as ‘The Peterloo Massacre’\, that happened in Manchester\, England on the 16th August\, 1819. \nThe sound material consists of location recordings captured from student protests held in Manchester 2010 and the rural the setting of Maccelesfield Forest\, Cheshire in 2010. Historical transcriptions and archive sound recordings were gathered with the help of Prof. Robert Poole of the University of Central Lancashire\, The Peoples History Museum\, Manchester\, The North West Sound Archive and the British Library. The text transcriptions provided a narrative framework to structure the electroacousitc sounds. The soundscape recordings were sonically transformed using a computer and spatially arranged within a 5.1 loud speaker array. \nThe spatial aspect of the composition considers the listeners position\, reception and inclusion. Realised at NOVARS Research Centre\, the University of Manches \nFree – booking recommended

SUMMARY:Twelfth Day - Live
DESCRIPTION:In the wordless communication that passes between Orcadian fiddler Catriona Price and Peebles harpist Esther Swift as they perform\, the strength of their decade-long musical partnership\, friendship and shared humour is evident.  \nIt’s this depth of connection\, and tangible desire to have fun\, that gives Twelfth Day its extra edge. This is not so much a duo\, but a two person quartet. Their two distinctly different voices\, the fiddle\, and the pedal harp\, build layer upon layer of a complex and ever-evolving sound\, rich with rhythm\, harmony and texture.  \nTwelfth Day are happy to be hard to define. Classically trained\, they bring outstanding technical ability as well as an adventurous mix of folk\, jazz and classical influences to their compositions and arrangements – blended with the folklore and inspirations of their respective Scottish Highland and Lowland upbringings. \n“a boldly brilliant record\, suffused with dark humour and wildly inventive musicianship” ★★★★★ fRoots \n“genre-blending style that is both edgy and inventive. . . A bold\, intriguing set.” ★★★★ The Guardian \n“challenging\, virtuosic music that is far more than the sum of its parts” ★★★★ The Skinny \n“one of the most rewarding listening experiences to be placed before an audience this year.” Folk Radio UK

SUMMARY:Jazz North northern line: Early Nite
DESCRIPTION:Otto Willberg (double bass)/Harry Smith (tenor saxophone)/Alexander Tod (drums)\n\nA fiery take on the sax-bass-drums trio format\, favouring short and snappy tunes in the spirit of punk: free improvisation delivered with humour\, melody and fun.\n\n\n\n\n“The band has been described as “Imagine Eric Dolphy playing Stravinsky-esque circus music and you’ll get some inkling of the kind of music that Early Nite make.”\nFree Range\, Canterbury \n“The compositions are all written quickly\, and with no undue preciousness. We then try to learn the music in an equally quick way\, resulting in a high turnaround of material. We like the process of approaching concerts with fresh material each time\, which stops us from falling into the traps of repeating ourselves. A review from our performance at Smugglers Festival said that “Early Nite play rapid-fire off-kilter grooves with invention\, precision and a very dry wit.”  \n“Musically\, some of the influences that we might identify with would be Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time band\, Henry Threadgill’s trio AIR\, Fluxus performance pieces and DADA’s destructive and primal spirit. Perhaps the most integral aspect of Early Nite however\, is the necessity to have extreme amounts of fun during our performances\, and for that to translate to our audience.” \nA Manchester Jazz Festival event  \nFree – please drop in (subject to availability)

SUMMARY:Fermata-with Arundo Quartet
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital society\, people are constantly bombarded with information\, meaning that chances to switch off are almost impossible to find. Rising pressure online and offline has prompted an alarming decline in our mental health\, with one in four people now experiencing a mental health problem as often as every 12 months. By bringing together mindfulness and music\, The Arundo Quartet have found a winning combination to help you successfully navigate whatever each day throws at you. They have assembled a programme of carefully selected minimalist works\, arranged for the quartet\, to create a mood that will be optimum for encouraging a relaxed route into mindful breathing exercises. They will perform these\, whilst playing pre-recorded entry level breathing exercises through a speaker. Swing by and listen to the music\, participate in the exercise or simply have a nap whilst enjoying a breather from the intensity of daily life.
