Three international players on the new/experimental music scene (Neil Luck, Angela Wai Nok Hui,Primož Sukič) present solo and group performances for instruments, objects, voices, recordings,guitars, and other ephemera.
Doors: 7:00pm
Drawing on traditions of object theatre, classical music, free improv,dada & surrealism, all three acts treat sound and gesture as alchemical elements, weirding the everyday into unexpected configurations and manifestations. They are further joined by Cameron Dodds and Cristiana Achim for ensemble performances including James Saunders’ “All the Things we Make You Do” .
Neil Luck is a composer and artist based in the UK.
His work often explores the pathos and interaction between live human performance and multimedia, and attempts to frame the act of music making as something curious, or weird, or useful, or spectacular in and of itself. Neil’s work takes a range of forms from music-theatre, to concert works, radio, public projects and recordings. He is the founder and director of the music-theatre ensemble ARCO; an experimental music-theatre company. Neil also performs with artist Jennifer Walshe in the duo WACK. Neil has worked with and written for people and ensembles in the UK and abroad, and presented work at music venues, festivals, and galleries internationally including Tate Britain, Tate
Modern, Venice Biennale, ICA, Whitechapel Gallery, LCMF, MATA Festival (New York), BBC
Proms, Palais de Tokyo (Paris), BBC Radio 3, and Tokyo Experimental Festival. His music has
been released on several labels including Entr’acte, Nonclassical, Accidental Records, and squib-
box.
Paris based Slovenian guitarist, improviser, and composer Primož Sukič was born in Koper,
Slovenia in 1986. He studied at the Academy of music in Ljubljana, at the Akademie für Tonkunst
Darmstadt, and at the HoGent conservatory Ghent. Along with percussionist Ruben Orio he is a
founding member of the Third Guy duo, where the two musicians constantly collaborate with other
artists, and explore boundaries between improvisation, and composition as well as music and other
artistic media. He is also a founding member of the group Replicant (Paris) which includes guitar,
saxophone, and electronics. Their music blends contemporary written scores, improvisatory
practices and rock.
