SUMMARY:Hosted at Metal Liverpool: Gemini Tapes + Matthew Philips & Nick Branton
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at Metal Liverpool: AMQH (a.k.a. whi music) presents Gemini Tapes\, plus Matthew Philips and Nick Branton. \nGemini Tapes is Mark Greenwood (ex-Cavalier Song\, Prison Behaviour) and Peter Smyth (Bloodcog\, ex-Mugstar\, Kling Klang). They create an improvisational noise that uses cheap samplers\, tape loops\, feedback\, broken keyboards and guitar effects pedals\, chants and screams. \nMatthew Phillips (cello) and Nick Branton (bass clarinet) will open the evening as a pair. \nThe Calderstones at Calderstones Park were the first inspiration for Matthew and Nick to come together\, using sketches of these ancient stones as graphic scores to inform their improvisations. Now they are expanding – introducing different forms of graphic score and visual aid to help them explore other sonic possibilities. \nTickets are £7 / £5 and are available here via Ticketsource. \nPlease note: This event is ‘hosted at’ Metal Liverpool and functions outside of our programme as a dry hire.
