Adam de la Cour / Mark Knoop album launch: Mômo

Join us for the launch of Adam de la Cour’s new album Mômo (KAIROS). The event will feature pianist Mark Knoop performing pieces from the album, alongside a special solo performance from composer Neil Luck. They will also be joined by Federico Reuben and Adam de la Cour (could this be a Squib-Box reunion?!) for exclusive Mômo re-imaginings, plunderphonics and absurd, improvised homages to the many artistic entities who inspired the album, including William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud.

As an exclusive launch offer, every ticket comes with a free copy of the album.

The Album

Mômo comprises a collection of de la Cour’s most important keyboard-based compositions, spanning almost 20 years, and features incredible performances from pianist Mark Knoop and clarinettist/vocalist Carl Rosman. De la Cour’s influences extend just as readily to psychotronic cinema, indie comics, variety-show performance and satire as they do to contemporary classical music, particularly where the incongruous, absurd and seemingly incompatible try to share a living space.

Expect a unique night of virtuosic absurdity.
