vie]noise[eries
A chance to hear some of the most vital and diverse talents from the Viennese new music scene on a rare visit to the UK, teaming up some of the key players from the London improvising community in an evening that promises minimal improvised electronics, lush electro-acoustics and some old fashioned noise. This concert is the result of musical partnerships forged by the UK rhythm section of Peter Marsh and Paul May and Vienna based violist Wei-Ya Lin while working as part of Conor Curran's Sonnamble project.
1. Klaus Filip (electronics), Noid (cello), Seymour Wright (saxophone)
KLAUS FILIP
Probably the first Viennese musician to use a laptop on stage in the early 1990s, Klaus Filip's work has been driven by 'technological possibilities and the social need to change structures'. Working across film, installation and theatre as well as designing open source software, he's been heard as an improviser alongside John Butcher, Radu Malfatti, Taku Sugimoto, Tim Blechmann and Christian Fennesz.
"For someone with so restricted an improvising vocabulary – sinewaves and almost nothing else – Klaus Filip has built quite an impressive discography" (The Wire)
