SUMMARY:The Improvisers' Choir
DESCRIPTION:TIC - The Improvisers’ Choir was founded in September 2015 by composer\, conductor and vocalist Jenni Roditi. All music is generated in the moment - with some starting points devised in rehearsal and the choir’s collective improvisations are shaped by conducted signals that assign roles and directions to the singers.\n\nSince their début at the Vortex in December 2015\, TIC have played eleven concerts including Chorus Festival at Southbank Centre\, Koç University (Istanbul); a series of Club Vocalé concerts featuring special guests Ian Shaw and Cleveland Watkiss; as part of improvisation night Skronk and as support act for heavy metal band Black Shape\, both at New River Studios; and in a Muswell Hill church as part of a Christmas concert.\n\nTonight they welcome to the stage their special guest for the evening\, Peter Wiegold (piano). Peter is the director of Club Inégales at Euston\, welcoming guests from around the world to perform and collaborate with his own ensemble Notes Inégales. He has been exploring innovative forms of music-making for many years\, pioneering the use of conducted signalled improvisation and developing a compositional practice that moves between writing and improvising. He is also involved in cross-disciplinary projects and currently working with chef Heston Blumenthal on a taste-sound project.\n\nTIC audience feedback:\n“A mind-and-voice-expanding evening - life enhancing and pleasantly weird.”\n“Voice stuff that delves from order to chaos and back again.”\n“Spellbinding experience. I loved the way the music and rhythm changed and transformed as if it was a living being\, pulsing with life.”\n\nTIC - The Improvisers’ Choir\nJenni Roditi - Conductor/Artistic Director\nSingers:\nUran Apak\nDilara Aydin-Corbett\nDavide Basso\nMārtiņš Baumanis\nVeronica Chacon\nSarah Jenkin\nAlain Man\nSylvia Medina\nIrene Pujol\nKate Smith\nYan White

SUMMARY:MARIO BATKOVIC
DESCRIPTION:Mario Batkovic\n“I chose the path of greatest resistance for my music voluntarily”\, admits Mario Batkovic. Batkovic is a Swiss\, Bosnian-born accordion player who’s on a mission to expand the possibilities of the instrument to its very outer limits. Through the accordion he’s been able to channel an unbound desire to explore and express\, a freedom that he has been denied through the various physical\, social\, cultural\, and political borders that have existed in his life.\n\n\n\nThe longest road is often most rewarding\, and through Batkovic’s restless searching and anarchistic approach to accordion music\, he’s carved his own place as an indefinable but intoxicating musical entity. His music criss-crosses between classical and contemporary\, often featuring many classical cadences and harmonies\, yet is also interlaced with less conventional sounds by using the instrument percussively and draws from minimalism.\n\nWhen Geoff Barrow (Portishead) was introduced to Batkovic’s music\, he immediately realised both its musical and technical proficiencies\, as well as its sheer uniqueness. Batkovic was subsequently invited to support Beak on their 2015 tour and then signed to his record label: Invada. Geoff began working with Batkovic in the studio\, encouraging him to write in new ways and opening doors for new musical directions. And the finished product\, is a manifestation of this.\n\n“I wanted all of the instruments breathing\, air noises and the sounds of flapping of claps to be audible. So the handicaps of the accordion can be transformed into benefits\, creating a new sound.”\nhttps://www.batkovic.com/\n\n\n
