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…

Appliances #7

For Appliances #7 on Thursday 16th October 2008, we have invited 2 very interesting guests from Europe; Andreas Willers (guitar) and Rudi Fischerlehner (drums).

Andreas Willers is without a doubt one of Europe’s most interesting improvisers and could, along with figures such as Hans Reichel be seen as one of Germanys grand masters of guitar.

The young Austrian drummer Rudi Fischerlehner is a very active member of the exciting Berlin music scene and a discovery not to be missed. He is at home in many different musical genres but has the distinction of remaining recognizable from the moment he starts playing.

Appliances #6

Our guest for Appliances #6 on Thursday 8th May, is pianist Julie Sassoon. Julie has been described as a ‘mesmeric solo performer’ and received great recognition after the solo concert she shared with Oregon at the QEH in the London Jazz Festival, which was described as ‘one of the most inspired pairings of the festival’. This performance will see her play improvisations based on compositions from her highly acclaimed solo piano album "New Life".
