A night of expanded composition where the boundaries between noise, ambience, synthesis, and sonic gesture dissolve
Doors 7pm
Tickets: £10-15 (NOTAFLOF)
An evening dedicated to deep listening, texture, and movement.
A night of expanded composition where the boundaries between noise, ambience, synthesis, and sonic gesture dissolve. This concert places listening as a physical act — sound moving directly from the body into the historic space of The Horse Hospital, an iconic venue for countercultural and experimental art in London.
Improvisation, layering, sonic landscapes, and electric tension throughout the night
Jesu Piceno & Ester Ricci
Jesu Piceno is a sound and multidisciplinary artist from Mexico, currently based in London. He has built a strong trajectory in experimental music, electronic soundscapes, and performance. His practice integrates sound, body, and image with an atmospheric and nocturnal approach. He studied music at institutions such as the Escuela de Iniciación Artística del INBA, Escuela G. Martell, and Blue Note Institute MX, complementing his training with workshops and masterclasses with contemporary music and sound art professionals. He has collaborated with visual artists, performers, and interdisciplinary collectives, expanding his work into audiovisual projects and installations.
Ester Ricci is an Italian audio-visual artist graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Music - ICMP in London on June 2022. Inspired by the unknown and subconscious mind, she forwarded her experimentation through the combination of different mixed medias collages to empathise the ephemeral relationship between real and surreal. Her emblematic and dreamlike language, as her curiosity over the free association, characterised her first solo project STOLEN GEMS (2022). In 2024 she started to collaborate with the Mexican artist Jesu Piceno, as video maker and visual artist in the project Dolor Nocturno
The Flooded Slate Pipes
The long-overdue performance project from Martin Lau (Flooded Access) and Andy Rowe (The Slate Pipe Banjo Draggers).

For this debut performance, they combine manipulated cassette tapes, woodwind, percussive found object (just the one) and granular synthesis.
Musician and visual artist Martin Lau’s sound work explores improvised music and soundscapes, often drawing on the atmospheric vastness of outer space and the deep sea. He curates the monthly experimental music showcase Ealing Extranormal.
The Slate Pipe Banjo Draggers' live incarnation involves a constantly changing selection of mini & micro cassette players, Walkmans, dictaphones, mixers and effect units and an ever-growing collection of found and prepared tapes.
