In 2013 minimalist composer Phill Niblock celebrates his 80th year with a massive retrospective at the Lausanne Contemporary Art Centre and a few select dates across Europe with saxophonist and electronic musician Thomas Ankersmit including this concert at Café Oto where the pair will present a selection of new works alongside ‘Sweet Potato’ for Basset Horn/Bass Clarinet/Eb Clarinet – a piece that was written for American clarinetist and sound artist Carol Robinson in 2001 and featured on the ‘Touch Food’ set of recordings (reissued by Touch in 2013). This evening’s concert will be performed with live contribution from David Ryan on bass clarinet.

Neil Leonard playing saxophone with Sax Mix and Zrost. Chris McIntyre, Jen Baker, Will Lang, tenor trombone; James Rogers, bass trombone, will play A Third Trombone.

Opis festivala. Ring Ring festival je već 17 godina važan deo beogradske kulturne ponude i pokazatelj otvorenosti i znatiželjnosti beogradske publike. Pored glavnog festivala počeo je da radi i World Music festival „Todo Mundo“, tako da nije iznenađenje što su u programu „Ring Ring na Belefu“ i World Music i nešto drugačija, tipična Ring Ring muzika, spojeni u jedno. Festival će činiti sedam koncerata i muzičkih performansa i to u junu i u julu.

We’ll play FIVE MORE STRING QUARTETS (by Phill Niblock) on the opening concert of the BIENNALE in VENEZIA. My quartet is called QUARTETTO PROMETEO and is this year’s winner of the Silver Lion in the Biennale. Another concert will be on the 6th of OCT 2012, and it will be played again, then.

BRUNEL SOUND SERIES: PHILL NIBLOCK
THURSDAY 17th February 2011
Tickets : £8 adv / £10 door
Door Times : 8pm

Phill Niblock’s music is the emancipation of the drone, the splitting into atomic parts of dozens of flailing, beating frequencies singing out loudly in close acoustical proximity to each other. His works are broad oceans of sound, where very little really “happens” but where there is a great deal to be heard, felt, and pondered.

His music involves electronic manipulation of acoustical sound sources recorded over the years by several generations of musicians, playing every instrument under the sun from flute, bass clarinet, saxophone, trombone, digeridoo, to electric guitar, bowed piano, cello, organ, hurdy-gurdy, and much else. Recordings of single held tones are layered into textures rich in micro-nuance, building into imposing, complex soundscapes.
Tonight he presents his work with live musicians.

This is the second event in Brunel@Café Oto, a new series of events organised in collaboration with the Music Department at Brunel University, tonight taking advantage of a rare Niblock appearance in the UK.
