COLIN FALLOWS ENSEMBLE : Winter Reverb II

15 Dec 2015-1 Jan 2000

Wilkinson Gallery (gallery Closed July 2017)
London E2 9DQ

Overview

In collaboration with B O U D I CC A The Colin Fallows Ensemble is an electric guitar trio dedicated to the performance of multi-layered soundworks, dense with microtones which generate numerous overtones through bespoke tuning to resonant performance spaces. The members of the ensemble are Colin Fallows, Bee Hughes and Eva Petersen. The ensemble performances combine the precision and clarity of a string trio with the locomotive power of a noise-machine orchestra. For their fourth appearance at Wilkinson Gallery, the ensemble will form a sonic triptych for the performance of Winter Reverb II (2015) a series of related compositions by Fallows for prepared and treated electric guitars ranging from mono-chordal sound canvases layered with overtones, through subtle shifting moiré patterns of drones and gestural sound-paintings, to raucous excursions in tone-bending noise that conjure up the presence of imaginary instruments. --- FREE, but booking required: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/colin-fallows-ensemble-winter-reverb-ii-tickets-19712366218
