Evo Ethel

Evo Ethel is a Welsh multi-instrumentalist, sound artist, and improviser currently based in Bristol, their solo practise weaves together elements of free-jazz, music-concrete, and electro-acoustic experimentation, often using objects, woodwind, and electronics to craft fractured soundscapes layered with improvised, noise led, multi-phonic woodwind. They have performed solo at En Masse Festival (Bristol), and took part in a one-off duo performance alongside Bridget Ferrill for the ‘Improvised and Experimental’ series at Hosek Contemporary (Berlin).

Rooted in Bristol’s DIY and experimental scenes, Evo’s group work with Ex Agent and Foot Foot has led to a mix of improvised, and non-improvised performances alongside Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Mark Stewart and Gareth Sager (The Pop Group), and Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine). As a co-founder of the No Clique event series with Improv’s Greatest Hits, Evo collaboratively curated evenings of one off, spontaneous musical groups championing an ethos of unpredictability, and community led experimentation.
