An evening of out sounds from the UK, Helsinki and elsewhere.

Starring Jon Collin (UK/Stockholm):

Jon Collin is a guitar player from Lancashire, UK, currently based in Sweden. On record he plays either improvised freeform abstract blues or through-composed minimalistic utilitarian drone music. His live shows are improvisations using a system of body, mind, breath, strings and electricity. His most recent LP is The Nature (Early Music; 2017).

"Acoustic string improvs of great abstraction, clangor and depth, recalling a certain vibe that Loren Connors once called his own, although there's no aping here. Lots of dizzy inventions of clustered strings that manage to maintain a certain melodic beauty for all their weirdness. There are even bits of wobbled slide and sustain that recall Fahey at his loosest. Totally boss." – Byron Coley

with:

Pehmeät Mummot (Helsinki)

The music of Mummot derives from Bach's preludes, taking recognisable melodies as its starting point. These are played, looped, and varied with a touch of improvisation on a keyboard and then worked through, transformed, and twisted by synthesisers. The result is a mixture of throwback sounds of early futuristic ambient and electronic pop, with its roots in classical music.

Many sounds being played at the same time by one man, words too.
