This is a real one off!
Comprising four sets that each spin the idea of the musical double in a different direction.
First up is a unique venture that posits the improvised recorded music of 'Squares and Triangles' re-interpreted and riffed on by three members of the hotly tipped 'Loop Collective.' This will be the only airing of a collaboration between 'Squares and Triangles', a London based group whose international circle of members expands and contracts around its key players - Jason Dungan, Dustin Ericksen, AnthonyFaroux, Sam Porritt and the 'LoopCollective's' highly talented Alex Bonney (trumpet and electronics), Jim Hart (vibraphone and percussion) and Dave Smith (drum kit) - not to be missed!
Next up, two members of Squares and Triangles will be joined by two guest musicians in a quartet. Two drum kits and two pianos will improvise music around a call and response structure. Expect a monster array of duelling melodies and dovetailing percussion.
Following this will be a rare solo set by the much sought after Bradford Bailey a.k.a. 'The Grass Greener.' For Double Object he will lay out a soundscape of emotive minimalism; playing one guitar while another guitar plays itself. This will be Bradford's first solo performance at Cafe Oto!
This night has been organised in conjunction with 'Double Object', an exhibition currently on at the Thomas Dane Gallery, London www.thomasdane.com
