April Twelves: Slow Music
Sun 29 Sep 2024 6:00 PM - 7:15 PM
Heath Street Baptist Church, NW3 1DN
Description
April Twelves experiments with the sense of time for both performers and audience — expanding time on many levels, from the macro scale of timelessness to the micro details of moving between notes in a considered way. They make slow music for an immersive and inquisitive listening experience. Alice and Ole create original music for prepared sarods, violins, violas, slide guitars and electronics. Born out of a series of improvisations, this project explores the colours, textures and resonances from encounters with Indian classical instruments. The Hindustani slide guitar and Karnatic violin have an intercultural story after travelling to India from Hawaii and Europe, respectively.
Alice Barron (UK) violin, viola, loop pedal
Ole André Farstad (Norway) prepared sarods, Hindustani slide guitar, electronics
