MAT POGO . LIVE AT NK 29.05.10

Mat Pogo, his solo set features his voice, a microphone and some electronics devices. Pogo developed his own language as a singer/voice-artist using his experience as a rock singer, an improviser and radio-artist where music, sounds, anecdotic and narrative elements fuse constantly. Weird processed vocal eruptions, intense screams, occasional words, pitched mouth cavity noises and electronics textures melting together in a very expressive way and often with a delicate sense of humor.

Wade Matthews, Thanos Chrysakis, Dario Bernal-Villegas . Enantio Dromia

A Greek meets a Mexican in London. The Mexican meets an American in Mexico. The American meets the Greek in Madrid. It sounds like the beginning of a joke about airplanes and parachutes but in fact, it’s the beginning of a trio whose music has been acclaimed by the critics as “stunning in its clarity, exquisite in it palette of sounds and inexhaustible invention” (James Wyness), the result of an “incredible level of musicianship.” (Dave X – Startling Moniker). For the musicians, each of whom live in a different country, it’s all much more straightforward: it’s a chance to make music, which is no small thing. Wade Matthews is an american composer and improviser. In 1989, he moved from New York to Madrid and became part of the international improv community. In 2007, he founded Intermedia 28. There, he began to combine field recordings with electronic synthesis in a 2-computer setup that has since become his main instrument.Â

Thanos Chrysakis output consists of composition, performance, and installation. He was born in Athens in 1971, residing  for the last ten years in the UK.  His work âInscape 5â was amongst the selected works at the International Competition de Musique et d’Art Sonore Electroacoustiques de Bourges, while âNekyomanteionâ received an honorary mention at the 7th International Electroacoustic Competition Musica Viva in Lisbon.

Darà o Bernal-Villegas is a composer, improviser and drummer from Mexico City. His aim is to create an intense, creative interaction between the performer and the score; in other words, creating the conditions for a more intense dialogue between the performer and the composer. He is working with the Mexican Improvising Collective Generación Esponánea.

ENSEMBLE PROGRESIVO . Live at XIII International Festival of Improvisation Hurta Cordel 2009

The Ensemble was born in 2007 from an idea of Ricardo Tejero of working free improvisation whithin a compositive context, following the influence established by some works of composers and improvisers like Richard Barret, John Butcher, John Zorn, Barry Guy or Anthony Braxton.

This way the group plunge into improvisations which happen within pre-arranged structures, through previously agreed musical paths or even together with composed music, but at the same time trying to maintain the essential principal of giving the musicians the least possible number of restrictions.

In february 2009, the Ensemble Progresivo presented this performance at Hurta Cordel, in the 13th Edition of the International Festival of Free Improvisation in Madrid.

Marcio Mattos, Javier Carmona, Ricardo Tejero, Adrian Northover and Alison Blunt. They all are part of LIO (London Improvisers Orchestra) and have also shared other projects originating from the exciting music scene of London, where they all live.

Now we have the pleasure to announce with this excellent release the premiere of Audition Records.

Ensemble Progresivo are:

Ricardo Tejero: Saxes, Clarinet & Compositions.
Alison Blunt: Violin.
Adrian Northover: Soprano & Alto Saxophon.
Marcio Mattos: Bass & Electronics.
Javier Carmona: Drums & Percussion.

Recording Enginner: Alvaro Muñoz & Ernesto Santana.
