SUMMARY:Fete Quaqua NIGHT ONE
DESCRIPTION:Three nights of cutting edge improvised music directed by guitarist and Mopomoso founder John Russell.\n\nEach night will begin and end with a short ensemble piece with all of the musicians\, with a changing programme of smaller combinations throughout. Rest assured no two nights will be the same.\n\nThe Musicians\n\nJJ Duerinckx (saxophone) Belgium\n\nAlice Eldridge (cello) UK\n\nCarl Ludwig Hubsch (tuba) Germany\n\nKen Ikeda (electronics) Japan\n\nAdam Linson (bass/electronics) Canada\n\nEdward Lucas (trombone) UK\n\nRachel Musson (saxophone) UK\n\nJohn Russell (guitar) UK\n\nPaul G Smyth (piano) Ireland\n\nStåle Liavik Solberg (drums/percussion) Norway\n\nAlex Ward (clarinet) UK\n\nUte Wassermann (voice) Germany\n\n \n\nJJ Duerinckx (saxophone) Belgium\n\nFollowing an initial inspiration from Steve Lacy and meetings with Lol Coxhill\n\nand Michel Doneda JJ Duerinckx decided to specialise on using the\n\nsopranino saxophone in freely improvised music. He is an instigating member\n\nof the concept One Moment Free Improv... a set of events around free\n\nimprovisation in Brussels and is also a sound artist mainly influenced by\n\nMurray Schaffer. He also plays the baritone saxophone in alternative/\n\nexperimental and free jazz bands. Examples of his work can be found here:\n\nhttps://soundcloud.com/duerinckx-jj\n\n \n\nAlice Eldridge (cello) UK\n\nDepending upon who is asking\, Alice Eldridge is an improvising cellist\,\n\nproducer or researcher in biologically-inspired systems and sound. She has a\n\nPhD in cybernetically-inspired software for improvisation from University of\n\nSussex\, where she lectures in Generative Creativity. Following a few years\n\nperforming with her solo cello-laptop AV duo Alice and her Self-Karaoke\n\nMachines\, she presently favours improvising with humans: as one quarter of\n\nPRSF Women Make Music awardees Collectress\, as one half of Duot with\n\nbass player Seth Bennett and as a vibrant member of Brighton's Safehouse\n\nCollective. She has just returned from an ecological research project\n\nexploring soundscape as a proxy for habitat status in the Ecuadorian Cloud\n\nForest.\n\n \n\nCarl Ludwig Hubsch (tuba) Germany\n\n"My playing is focused on music as a structure in time. All focus is on the\n\ngenesis of the moment. While emphasis and plot are fragmented and given\n\nthe freedom of a new point of departure\, utmost care is given to awareness of\n\nmusical flow and continuity of the play.\n\nThrough the use of avant-garde and self-invented performance techniques\,\n\nthe tuba acquires completely new characteristics as a brass instrument. An\n\ninnovative array of unexpected sounds is heard\, the instrument is seen from\n\na fresh perspective\, and the audience is confronted with a novel way of\n\nperceiving time."\n\n \n\nKen Ikeda (electronics) Japan\n\nKen Ikeda is a video artist and composer born in Tokyo (1964). He has\n\nexhibited sound art and visual installations around the world and has\n\ncollaborated with\, amongst others\, painter Tadanoori Yokoo\, artist Mariko\n\nMori and composed and recorded for film maker David Lynch.

Since 2010 he divides his time\n\nbetween Canada and the UK.\n\n \n\nEdward Lucas (trombone) UK\n\nI have known the trombone since my school days\, but I came to improvisation\n\nlater in life as a way of getting back into playing after a substantial break. It is\n\nnow almost exclusively what I do\, and I can thank the numerous musicians I\n\nhave had the opportunity to play with. This has included groupings together\n\nwith Tom Wheatley\, Daniel Thompson\, Eddie Prévost\, Roland Ramanan\, and\n\nJames OʼSullivan\, among many others.
