SUMMARY:Veryan Weston - TESSELLATIONS VI + Sylvia Hallett & Hannah Marshall (duo)
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM\nAbout:\nHannah Marshall carves pathways into noise and micro-tonality\, as well as standard harmonic aspects of the 'Cello\, where melody\, texture\, rhythm & tonality blur. She plays at times with traditional sensibility\, and at others times treats the instrument as a collection of parts to be manipulated and re-analysed\, often combining the two.\nHer broader practice has developed through experiences in western classical music\, with bands and with jazz oriented music\, Indian classical music\, street performance\, theatre\, tightly rehearsed\, devised or spontaneous\, and is informed by interests and studies in creative group practice\, physicality\, pedagogy\, natural law & sound healing.\n\nSylvia Hallett is a significant figure in English improvised music\, a multi-instrumentalist of tremendous originality. Playing with groups as diverse as British Summer Time Ends and London Improvisers Orchestra\, her discography spans more that thirty years\, and includes performances\, for starters\, on violin\, hurdy-gurdy\, sarangi\, Hardanger fiddle (the one with resonating strings)\, and bowed bicycle wheels.\n\nOn the album Tree Time\, Hallett presents music literally drawn from the earth then echoed\, transformed\, and realized in circuitry. Hallett's description of her inspiration and process defies paraphrase.\n\nVeryan Weston received a fellowship from the Digswell Arts Trust . Co-founded and composed for Stinky Winkles (Awards from GLAA\, France\, Spain and Poland). Also composed and performed for film\, notably work with Lol Coxhill on director Derek Jarman's Caravaggio (1985).\n\nIn the '80s and '90s\, he worked with the Eddie Prévost Quartet and Trevor Watts' Moiré Music and in duos with vocalist – Phil Minton\, violinist - Jon Rose\, saxophonist - Caroline Kraabel\, cellist - Hannah Marshall . Weston has recorded for the labels - Matchless\, Acta\, Ogun\, Leo and EMANEM. He is currently with Trevor Watts in Eternal Triangle\, touring again and on a 3rd recording project.\n\nPersonal research in to pentatonic scales (supported by the Peter Whittingham Foundation) has yielded 6 Tessellations pieces performing these worldwide. Tonight he will perform Tessellations VI.\n\n \n\n[embed][/embed]
