Car parks, great undoings and incandescent improv
Verity Sharp presents new adventurous music, including Nicholas Maloney & Yama Yuki’s sonic explorations of car parks, and a celebration of mistakes from Stick In The Wheel.
Verity Sharp presents a selection of new adventurous music, including Nicholas Maloney & Yama Yuki’s sonic explorations of Tokyo’s car parks. Here, the artists’ striking, scrunching and scuffing of gravel with found instruments like sticks and stones suggest new and oddly hopeful-sounding possibilities from unexpected items and spaces.
Elsewhere in the show, gloriously incandescent improvisations from a long-lost, re-released live recording from radical multidisciplinary arts collective, Black Artist Group. Recorded in Paris in the winter of 1972 whilst on a trip from St. Louis Missouri, the music was recently rediscovered in the vaults of INA (Institut national de l’audiovisuel). This release, For Peace and Liberty, captures a beautifully-recorded moment of free, incandescent improvisation and funk grooves from the ensemble.
And if that wasn’t enough, London’s Stick in the Wheel offer a song celebrating great undoings and terrible mistakes, and the Shovel Dance Collective bring a hypnotic, charged rendition of The Merry Golden Tree.
