System 50:50 in Sound

The Fishermen's Chapel · Leigh-on-Sea

Free workshops for musicians of all levels interested in the practice of ensemble free form improvisation. Venue: Fishermen’s Chapel, Leigh-on-Sea, SS9 2EA Cost: Completely FREE Instruments: Any Experience: All levels welcome! Number of participants per session: 16 Please RSVP to [email protected] if you are interested in participating in the workshop. Join us for a four-session series exploring a simple yet powerful approach to ensemble improvisation. In System 50:50 each player improvises for 50% of the piece and remains silent for 50%. These times are aggregate totals — you choose when to play and when to listen. Every participant manages their own clock and retains full agency over the sounds they make.

Konsztrukting Sound EVENING TWENTY-NINE

The Fishermen's Chapel · Leigh-on-Sea

Evening programme SET #1 Ross Lambert + Nathaniel Catchpole SET #2 Regan Bowering + Sue Lynch SET #3 Rachel Musson Solo SET #4 James O’Sullivan + Andrea Bolzoni ARTIST INFORMATION ROSS LAMBERT Northern Irish (and London-based) guitarist and ‘magnetic and vibrating sources’ player Ross Lambert, has in his own words, the following fundamental and simultaneous approaches to live performance: to play as though it was both the first time and also the last; and to able to differentiate between what is good and worth conserving and what is not. Ross has been involved in, initiated and been a connector between a very wide variety of improvisatory music since his first exposure and (immediate) commitment to it, in Sheffield via Derek Bailey during the mid-1980s. Although under-recorded (he claims ‘by choice’), Ross has worked with a huge number of musicians from around the world, including Tetuzi Akiyama, Ami Yoshida, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Paul Hession, Rhodri Davies, John Butcher and Evan Parker, as well as his close friends Eddie Prevost, Seymour Wright, and Sebastian Lexer.
