Welcome Martin Hackett from England
Visiting artist Martin Hackett, a fixture on the English improvised music scene, visits the Bay Area this month. To welcome him a Company-style evening has been arranged, featuring short sets with revolving players, many of whom have never played together before. The possibilities for etherial, breath-catching beauty are probably greater than those for grinding sonic drudgery, but neither can be ruled out in this scenario.
Players (confirmed):
Martin Hackett - melodicas and small sound makers
Tom Djll - trumpet and electronics
John McCowen - clarinet, contrabass clarinet, floor tom
Kanoko Nishi-Smith - koto
Clarke Robinson - electronics
We welcome your open ears with sound!
