IKLECTIK presents, John Butcher, Hannah Marshall, N.O.Moore, Eddie Prevost Wed 26 June – doors 8:00pm – music 8:30pm | £6 adv / £8 door John Butcher – Saxes Hannah Marshall – Cello N.O. Moore – Modular Moog guitar Eddie Prevost – Percussion This quartet of improvising musicians will play two sets, exploring the interaction of acoustic and electronic sound, and how the distinction between the two can tend to indiscernibility. Irrespective of whether it is electronic or acoustic sound that is being dealt with, this quartet – featuring some internationally acclaimed players – engages with the potential of sound, not merely in terms of bringing what is potential into actuality, but of invoking the impotential of sound: what is not actualised but which, nevertheless resonates in what is to be heard. This is not a question of silence (as noise or absence), but one of affectivity, intensity, and environment. To this end, the music of this quartet seeks to offer new lines of flight, plastic re-embodiments, and the refusal of control. In other words: bio-sonorous affirmation.
