Richard Knox & Frederic D. Oberland perform 'The Rustle of the Stars'

Event information

Join the Local and Sleepsound in Dalston for a weekend of modern musical adventures.

The Local have teamed up with Sleepsound Agency to present a weekend of innovative modern electrical and acoustic music from England's shores and a little bit further abroad. The result: The Dalston Residency, a multi-venue musical showcase spread over a weekend.

The weekend starts off with a full length performance of Richard Knox and Frederic D Oberland's "The Rustle of the Stars" at The Vortex Jazz Bar, where they will be joined by Angela Chan & Lidwine de Royer.

450 km from the arctic circle, 'The Rustle of the Stars' is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air.

Also joining them for the evening will be the wonderful Clem Leek, Anna Rose Carter and Christopher Bailey.
