Amongst the shows over the next seven days, Omnii Collective present a live performance and workshop with esteemed producer, electronic artist, keyboardist and singer, Barbara Morgenstern. Following the success of Omnii’s event with Berlin-based all-female electronic music project Monika Werkstatt last year, we are excited to welcome back Barbara Morgenstern from the group. Barbara will be joined by Christian Biegal on saxophone and electronics – together, they will give a workshop which will cover an introduction to their work, set-up and a Q+A, followed by a performance.

Our Slip digital catalogue grows this week with a clutch of Yeah You, Gwilly Edmondes, Odie, Otto, and Competition up ahead of the label’s ‘Militant Seed’ matinee with Gwilly Edmondes on Sunday. Starting at 1pm, Slip’s Laurie Tompkins will be in conversation with composer-performer Edmondes – a singular entity from South Wales’s legendary Radioactive Sparrow scene in late 1980s. His work is about immediate performance, collage, and improvisation, and he’ll be talking specifically about “the way person-to-person cataclysmics are manifest in Wild Pop and related precursors like Hip Hop and Jazz.” Get down if you can.

New shows announced this week include London Sacred Harp, a return for the trio of Charles Gayle, Marker Sanders and John Edwards, and a very special four-day residency with Joe McPhee.

EVAN PARKER –
THE SNAKE DECIDES

£15 / £13 members

One of the final Incus releases and one that was written up in The Penguin Guide to Jazz as ‘an essential document of modern music’. Otoroku is proud to release the first ever vinyl re-issue of Evan Parker’s legendary recording The Snake Decides. Featuring 4  solos recorded in 1986 in St. Paul’s Church, Oxford by the late Michael Gerzon. The Snake Decides is a groundbreaking example how far the language of a particular instrument can be taken.

From Brian Morton’s liner new notes:

“The Snake Decides attracts a certain array of adjectives – intense, radical, fearsome, hypnotic, virtuosic – and occasionally allows a more ambitious reviewer to avoid platitude by talking more specifically about 32nd harmonics, circular breathing, multiphonics and Gerson’s exact choice and placement of microphones. But this misses a point, too. Listening to this record, either for the first or the fortieth time, is an arousing experience.”

COUNTERFLOWS FESTIVAL
4th, 5th, 6th & 7th April 2019
Various venues – Glasgow

Festival passes are now onsale: www.counterflows.com

Dakim (USA) / Mohammad Reza Mortazavi (Iran) / Ailie Ormston & Tim Fraser (SCO)  / MC Carol (Brazil) / Katz Mulk (UK) Myriam Van Imschoot & Doreen Kutzke (Germany/Belgium) / Nicole Mitchell, Tomeka Reid & Alexander Hawkins (Trio) (USA/UK)

From its foundation as an experimental music festival Counterflows has evolved, sharing space for diverse voices, radical ideas and community joy. Fighting the creeping isolationist agenda and loom of age-old hierarchies, our desire to work locally and internationally – to hold onto and mutually nurture everyone’s capacity to be deeply human, deeply connected and deeply alive – is stronger than ever.

Through live events, clubs, discussions, film screenings and hang-outs – woven through some of the best spaces in Glasgow – Counterflows aims to enact a human flow and provide an inclusive, fun space to engage with important marginal music.
