Lambs Gamble / Michel Doneda + Jonas Kocher

Never Come Ashore and Psykick Dancehall Present:

Michel Doneda - saxophones + Jonas Kocher - accordion
Lambs Gamble: Eric Boros - guitarist / unsound modifier , Fritz Welch - thumping and twiddling, George Cremaschi - double bass and electronics from Prague via the Bay Area.

19:30, Thursday 22nd September, Streetlevel Photoworks Gallery,103 Trongate. Donations.



Michel Doneda - saxophone and Jonas Kocher - accordion play with tiny precise envelopes of listening, filling them with blasts of caustic intensity and elusive texture.

Lambs Gamble is what happens when aiming beyond the horizon of free improvisation, both as a practice and as a style, to take a hacksaw to serious music with sound.

The Music of Wandelweiser Documentation




















In January 2011 Dominic Lash and Rhodri Davies performed a seven hour concert of Wandelweiser compositions at Glasgow University. Rather than record the concert for release it was decided that the performance would be documented in writing; by three writers in the audience and by the two performers. Our intention was not to review the concert as such but to give a different kind of access to the event, to try to document listening and its effects rather than the sounds.

Scores played were by Antoine Beuger, Eva-Maria Houben, Radu Malfatti, Michael Pisaro and Manfred Werder. The writing is by Rhodri Davies, Hannah Ellul, Sarah Tripp, Neil Davidson and Dominic Lash.

There are two documents: an A0 pdf (printable if you have a printer big enough) and an A4 pdf which is desk top printer friendly and which also includes pieces by Manfred Werder and Eva-Maria Houben.
