Tuesday November 25th, 8pm
space between presents, from Berlin, improvising guitarist Annette Krebs
who has worked with Andrea Neumann, Axel Dörner, Radu Malfatti and
Kaffe Mattews. She explores new territories between acoustic and electronics,
inventing new ways of playing. Following Keith Rowe's prepared electric
guitar, she has placed her acoustic guitar on a table and connected it
to an electro-acoustic device, listening to sonic micro-events amplified
and transformed by the movements of the microphones.
Deejay for the night, Peter Cusack plays environmental and wildlife recordings
and soundscapes. He recorded Your Favourite Sounds of London CD and curated
The week of Small Miracles, a large scale outdoor project in the Lea Valley
area of East London. Very active in electro-acoustic and improvised musics,
Cusacks musical collaborators include Clive Bell, Nick Collins, Alterations,
Chris Cutler and Max Eastley.
Rachel Gomme investigates the intricate inner dance of the body. In a
previous performance at 291 Gallery Longshore Drift, Gomme shifted her
personal beach, grain by grain. A repeated journey creates an accumulation
of experience in the body, just as individual grains of sand accumulate
on the shore.
from Rome, Mike Cooper plays and performs live with video. A pivotal moment
in the history of British improvised music was the day Mike Cooper decided
it was OK to play loud Hawaiian guitar in the middle of a free set. The
Wire
Viv Corringham and Angharad Davies improvise sound textures with voice

now London-based has lived and worked in Germany for the past six years.
