Icarus – Amsterdam

Icarus perform live with Furt @ Bimhuis, Amsterdam (NL), as part of the Viral Radio Festival.

FURT is the electronic composition/performance duo formed by Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer in London in 1986. FURT’s dense and intricate musical forms are produced at every level by an interpenetration between free improvisation and systematic composition, and use primarily concrete (sampled/processed) materials. This activity is concerned above all with allying the physicality and expressivity of sound-structures to FURT’s vision – but also with deriving methods of musical production from the nature of the (electronic) medium itself.

“Furt, in dicts. explained – ‘theft’, is a misprint in the later edd. of Tomkis’ Albumasar for ‘furie’.”

Appliances #10

It is a pleasure (and also a formidable combination of organisation and good luck) for us to be able to invite both Dominic Lash and Anna Kaluza for Appliances #10 at Scooterworks on Thursday 14th May.

Over the last few years, double bassist Dominic Lash has distinguished himself as one of the most versatile and adept musicians to emerge from the improvised music scene. In between working on his own projects, he has performed and collaborated with Tony Conrad, Kieran Hebden, Steve Reid, Evan Parker and John Butcher amongst many others and is in possession of a list of gigs stretching way off into what seems like an inexorably unimaginable future.

It was our fortune to be introduced to saxophonist Anna Kaluza during our recent outing at the Stoke Newington Airport and great to have another opportunity to perform with her. Seeing what both of them conjure up down at Scooterworks will be quite an adventure … a night not to be missed.

Thursday 14th May @ 7:30pm (doors 6:30pm)

Dominic Lash – solo.

Maurizio Ravalico / Isambard Khroustaliov – new work for congas and electronically triggered percussion.

Anna Kaluza / Dominic Lash / Isambard Khroustaliov – improvised trio.
