Appliances #9

Fresh from his recent tour with Murcof, maverick tuba maestro Oren Marshall will be our guest for Appliances #9 at Scooterworks on Thursday 19th February. Oren will be performing both solo and in duo with Maurizio Ravalico on congas. If last years performances at Kings Place and Kammer Klang are anything to go by, this promises to be a beautifully outside of the box encounter with two musicians who are meticulously charting an entirely new landscape for their collective sound. For a taster of what’s in store, you can listen to a live recording of the duo off our recent free compilation. As always, entrance is £5 and includes some extremely fine antipasti, courtesy of Fifi.

7:30pm – Oren Marshall solo.

8:30pm – Oren Marshall and Maurizio Ravalico duo, unamplified tuba and congas.

9:30pm – Isambard Khroustaliov, who is creatively involved in the recording of Oren and Maurizio’s forthcoming album, will join forces with the duo in an experiment of generative music, where the sounds spontaneously produced within and without the Scooterworks area will play as relevant a role as those produced by the musical instruments.

Witnesses of Appliances #8

We were all too busy enjoying the cinematic feast to bother taking any significant photos of the night. Scott was there though, and posted a nice review of the evening; read it here.

This is going to happen again, hopefully on a recurring basis, and Scooterworks is not going to stop for that matter. We just love them both: so different, so complementary, each one with something great to offer…

Appliances #8

For Appliance #8 on Friday 21st November at Cafe OTO, to celebrate the release of our recent FREE compilation, we will be presenting a programme themed more specifically around our work with film. Britt Hatzius will be presenting new work ‘The Film’ with a live sountrack by Adem Ilhan and there will be screenings of recent work by Martin Hampton and Alice Scott with live soundtracks provided by Isambard Khroustaliov, Maurizio Ravalico and Dominic Lash. The evening will also premiere a new film by Candas Sisman, set to a soundtrack by Isambard Khroustaliov and present Joji Koyamas recent animation ‘First Place’. Finally (as if all this wasn’t enough!) there will also be a chance to see some installation work in the early evening and a banging dancefloor set by Rumpistol to keep you reveling late into the night. If you’re interested in the current shape of experimental film and music, this is an evening not to be missed…
