‘A series of Fortunate Events’ is a new series curated by David Ryan and Olivier Rodriguez that takes place on the 2nd Thursday of each month at café Oto. It aims to bring together both new and established
performers and composers in new and exciting combinations. It will mix new composition with innovative tendencies in improvisation as well as giving a fresh context and platform for free jazz.
John Butcher (saxophones) + Mark Wastell (tam tam and electronics) - New free-improv duo
John Butcher leads an almost scientific survey of the sonic possibilities of the saxophone be it in his studio work or live while performing improvisation or compositions. He has performed with countless international improvisers and is hard to avoid in festivals across the world. John has also performed twice this year along the film Screen Play by Christian Marclay.

Much of Mark Wastell's relationship with his chosen instrument (being cello, electronics, gong or harmonium) is concentrated on revealing its tactile, textural and sonic possibilities. Mark has performed with many leading musicians including John Zorn, Keith Rowe, Lol Coxhill, Axel Dorner, Phil Minton, Max Eastley or Steve Beresford.
