SWIFT ARE THE WINDS OF LIFE

This Leeds/Sheffield trio's first Notes & Sounds of 2008 following their show stopping recent gigs for Singing Knives and Freenoise. As Singing Knives Records so succinctly put it " the most mesmerising intuitive playing on strings and percussion we've heard in a long time." Which we think just about sums up their righteous free improv.

Knalpot

"Nu-generator tractor music...lo-fi stumblin' groove alarm!'

KNALPOT hail from the fertile music pastures of Amsterdam. Without a doubt it is a refreshing and original experience. One minute there may be low and dirty fuzz-rock riffs, the next stumbling grooves that stutter like a rusty old engine. After that, the music might morph into hazy clouds of chirps and swirls, a moment of tranquility right before sonic noise improv comes crashing down around your ears. Soon after, there might be some low frequency rumbles to fill your stomach. Their self-proclaimed rascal style has a modernizing combo sound that is reminiscent of 1980's Commodore 64 computer game aesthetics.“ (Klaus Grinsky).
You can quickly tell they are reputable musicians experienced in many musical genres. On drums - the energetic and extroverted Gerri Jäger, known from extensively touring avant-funk band Brown vs Brown. Jäger is the motor of this tractor and is responsible for all the potholes during KNALPOT’s ongoing off-road trips. On guitar/casio/electronics Raphael Vanoli, a multi-style guitarist operating in the fields of jazz, rock, improv, experimental and contemporary classical music. Vanoli uses a unique setup of FX boxes, loop machines, handyman tools and whatever else may fall into his hands. Even though there’s only two people on stage you don’t miss any other instrument or a singer and despite all the technological trickery, every KNALPOT tune is performed 100% live without backing tracks. www.myspace.com/knalpot

John Hackett

World-renowned flautist (that's flute player to you and me) begain improvising many years ago at Sheffield Uni Music College. Since then undertaken countless world tours with his famous brother's group (yep that's guitar virtuoso Steve Hackett from the original Genesis). The pair have released superb and succesful modern rock and classical recordings with a wide range of some of the most skilled musicians in the business and still tour (with Roger King on keys) as the Steve Hackett Trio. John is a local boy and a great supporter of all things improv. Recently having a stint with his own rock band which met to a rapturous reception at the city's Boardwalk as well as London gigs, John always maintains his connection to the flute (now also teaches privately), since the time as a youngster he witnessed Ian McDonald in King Crimson live.

Stephen Grew has been freely improvising for twenty years, carving out his own musical language through day to day work and intensive gigging for the last twelve years. What constitutes his main body of work is Grew trio, a mixture of acoustic piano inventions, tenor sax/bassoon Mick Beck, and Phillip Marks drummer Bark member and longstanding collaborator of eleven years. He has also worked in an electronic music setting grutronic, with brother Nick, harmonica, airfx, thumb piano, Richard Scott, movement controlled synthesizer, David Ross, handsonic, moog pedals and effects, and solo piano playing.

MoHa!

On UK tour which includes the cool and reputable Venn Festival, this young, crazily energetic and established pair go from strength to strength and are ready to bring the house down again with their nuclear barrage of ultra-tight instrument and PA slaughter. You get it, be there.
Run away pop kids, crazy free improv noiseniks Moha! are back! Thank the lord… Taking it upon themselves to resurrect the true spirit of out-there extemporising, this is, like their last masterpiece, Raus Aus Stavanger, a wonderfully refreshing blast of high-density electronic squall, explosive drumming and mind-bogglingly cosmic guitar strangling, courtesy of fret wizard, Anders Hana and drummer Morton Olsen. The trick to making this stuff so engaging (that’s right pop kids, I said engaging) is to create some kind of dialogue between the extremities. These bouts of Supercollider-minced sound rarely take a strictly abstract course. If you stick with it, there emerges a fascinating anti-pattern, filled with snatches of straight-ahead jazz and bubbling digits. Most importantly it’s delivered with a clarity of production that shows how much CARE actually goes into creating something that, on the surface, seems so chaotic. - Chris Jone BBC Music

Eaten By Children

Another triumphant return in the shape of Londoner (now Edinburgh based) solo sound modeller Rob Hart. Last seen in these parts at the Grapes back in '06 where he blew the crowd away with his improvised table-top sale of home baked analogue electronics and consumer goods. Not just another pedal-pusher, EBC is a stylistic (can I say old school for such a young guy?) rare type of noise artist, with a really keen ear for interesting, outer limits spontaneous magic. Also bringing new work in the shape of additional home-made Super 8 visual treats.

Forest Creatures

They make stupefied rocking motions, like chained bears. They conjure a shifting storm of toxic buzz, swaying and growing. One of them shoots pulses of overdriven synth through the mix, looping, distorting, setting of samples; the other screams through a Fisher Price karaoke deck, but it makes no difference. Syllables are melted, swelling the noxious cloud that starts to spins between the two of them more quickly, noticeably, mutating into something like a rhythm. Limbs twitch, like nerves stabbed. No anger here, just anxiety without any recognizable source, Krautrock's alien motion refracted through the hollering of the dammed. I want more. - Plan B

The Geordie Approach
THE GEORDIE APPROACH is an exciting new collaboration between the two Norwegian musicians Petter Frost Fadnes and Ståle Birkeland, teamed up with guitarist Chris Sharkey, a Geordie born and bred (hence the approach...). This uncompromising and experimental trio pursues music within loose improvisational structures, adding a surprisingly broad range of flavours and catalysing their creative ideas (sometimes getting lost) within a sizeable musical space. In their untiring quest for brilliant and unusual musical goals - Birkeland, Fadnes and Sharkey produce musical elements that often are contradictory in shape, moving between melody and noise, ambient grooves and abstract textures. THE GEORDIE APPROACH has already performed at various venues across the UK, and last year completed a successful tour of Norway. This summer´s album launch was followed up with gigs in Norway – playing with distinguished Norwegian organist/composer Nils Henrik Asheim. The trio just completed a Jazz Services funded UK tour. Website

SONNY SIMMONS - alto sax, cor anglais
DEREK SAW : trumpet, valve trombone
JOHN JASNOCH : electric guitar, ud
CHARLIE COLLINS : drums, cajon

Huey "Sonny" Simmons grew up in Oakland, California and is one of the key figures to come out of the 1960s free jazz scene. He has worked with John Coltrane’s rhythm section, McCoy Tyner, Gary Peacock, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Anthony Braxton, Frank Lowe, Sunny Murray, Don Cherry and Prince Lasha, even Jimi Hendrix... before recording his own stunning LPs for ESP-Disk, home of Alber Ayler and Sun Ra. Simmons was emblematic of how the free-jazz improviser could wed the sophisticated composer. Often reminiscent of John Coltrane but also inherently more complex, if a bit less emotional. He remains a brilliant composer and no matter what the setting, Simmons always managed to carve out a unique place in the history of jazz improvisation and composition. Flying over from his home in New York especially for F'reaction, Sonny will be accompanied by the UK's finest drummer Paul Hession and the superb Dave Kane on double bass.

THE BALKH TRIO
Peter White: voice
Charlie Collins: waterphone, mbiras, darbuka and mazhar
John Jasnoch: ud, ukulele and kanjira
In honour of Persian poet, mystic and lover Jelaluddin Rumi, whose life and work are traditionally remembered on 17th December, Notes and Sounds and the Naqshbandi Sufi Centre combined to present the Sheffield-based Balkh Trio. Long-term stalwarts of the improvised music scene Charlie Collins and John Jasnoch team up again with singer Peter White for Sheffield's sagacious usurpation of the Rumi inheritance. If Rumi is now America's number one selling poet, this owes nothing to The Balkh Trio's singular and unpredictable renditions. So make disappear that 'low sensual ear which stuffs like cotton your conscience and makes death your inward ear'.

Since they sailed into view a little over a year ago,The Navigators have continued to explore their unique sound world. The combination of acoustic string and percussion instruments which have been around for centuries (or more) with instruments developed in the 20th century results in music which suggests all sorts of folk origins together with contemporary composed music and free jazz.

Neil Carver continues to dig deep into his children's abandoned toy cupboard and unleashes all manner of engaging and interesting emanations from the artefacts found therein.
