The mythical SEA MANTIS is rising again… and it’s bringing tentacles of sonic chaos to Konsztrukting Soundz EVENING TWENTY-THREE!
Join in for a deep dive into voices, winds, trash-collected textures, and fearless London improv at the beautiful Fishermen’s Chapel.
Programme:
SET #1 – Massimo Magee: radical extended saxophone solo
(short break)
SET #2 – SEA MANTIS (Stephan Barrett, Andrew Ciccone, Adam Kinsey & Edward Shipsey): quartet explorations – site-sensitive objects, percussion, modular synths, voice & more from this elusive, many-tentacled aquatic entity that’s lurked in London’s improv scene since 2019!
(short break)
SET #3 – Viv Corringham: stunning solo voice, electronics & field recordings – a vital force in improvised music, weaving place and soundscapes
(short break)
SET #4 – Christopher Hill, Tony James Morton & James Malone: evolving textural trio soundscapes with generative systems, feedback & found sounds
From virtuosic vocal improvisations and maritime imaginaries to radically extended saxophony and asynchronous loops – expect the unexpected in this packed night of boundary-pushing sounds!
