Live Performance

Flock of Birds

28 May 2022 4-6pm

Gasworks
London SE11 5RH

Overview

Expanding on his durational and process-based approach, Laakkonen presents his first ever musical performance at the Montgomery Hall Community Centre, located a five-minute walk from Gasworks. Entitled Flock of Birds, this consists of a short, repetitive composition written for an ensemble of non-professional wind instrument players.

Conducted by musician Hannah Catherine Jones, the performance is divided into simple steps so that each musician plays a single note in sequential order, therefore drifting in and out of sync like a flock of birds—a movement evoked in its title.
