The history and context of an instrument, a music, a
concert and a piece are some of the main concerns of
ONGAKU:enjoy_sound. The idea of back-to-back solos is
one approach to the field between these two poles.
Ongaku’s first solo concert, Trumpet:
solo_improvisations‚ in March 04, mapped some
fascinating territory, and its successor ear_drum‚ is
a concert of six back-to-back percussion solos from
three musicians who have never performed at ongaku and
three who have.
Performing for the first time at Ongaku: Shakeeb Abu
Hamdan is an exciting young London musician who uses
samplers, minidiscs, drum machines, drums and electric
bass in the groups: Isambard Kingston Brunel, Shakeeb
Abu Hamdan and Oliver Reese play the Screams of
Prince, Las Palmas Dorados and Metal Finger. He is
also a member of 9! and has succeeded in making some
rare, fresh music. Better known for his work on cello
and amplified textures than tam-tam, his instrument
for this concert, Mark Wastell is a key figure among
British improvisers today. The tam-tam on which he
will perform has its own history, hand-crafted in
Tuscany, Italy and a part of the collection of
percussion instruments, which Roger Sutherland used in
performance with British group Morphogenesis. Edward
Perraud comes to London from Paris especially for this
event, having last performed a superb set in London
with Hubbub at Freedom of the City 2003, later aired
by BBC Radio 3. He has played and recorded with a wide
range of musicians from Arthur Doyle to Can's Damo
Suzuki. Paul Hession, Steve Noble and Eddie Prévost
have all performed at past events in various settings:
An endlessly inventive drummer, Paul Hession, the
power behind the great Hession/Wilkinson/Fell trio and
collaborator with greats like Peter Brotzman, played
with Joe McPhee and John Edwards last February, when
he gave us an excellent impromptu drum solo. One of
the great drummers, blessed with an astonishing
finesse, humour, touch and ability to pitch, derived
in part perhaps from influences like Big Sid Catlet,
Pete LaRoca and J.C. Moses, the wonderful Steve Noble
makes a rare and timely solo appearance. Eddie Prévost
performed at the very first ONGAKU: enjoy_sound, in
duo with Derek Bailey. A founder member of AMM, a
brilliant musician and deep musical thinker.
