Dear Musicology-All,
You may be interested the following weekend of concerts and workshops celebrating the work of Hugh Davies, which will take place in Leeds on 17 and 18 October. (The precise schedule is TBC - please check the website nearer the time.) We'd be grateful if you could pass this on to any individuals / mailing lists / social media groups you think may be interested.
Best wishes,
Cait Mockridge

Sounds Heard: Avant-garde, experimental, electronic and improvised musics and workshops celebrating the work of Hugh Davies.
The weekend will include performances by celebrated free improviser Steve Beresford, vocalist Phil Minton, sound artist Aleks Kolkowski, members of the Edinburgh-based ensemble Grey Area, and live coding of dot-matrix printers by Alex McLean. There will be an analogue disc-cutting and vocal workshop with Phil Minton and Aleks Kolkowski, and a workshop and film-screening on Stockhausen's Mikrophonie I.
Among Davies's pieces to be performed will be his experimental music-theatre works 'The Birth of Live Electronic Music' and 'Mobile with Differences', his late-sixties live electronic and vocal pieces 'Voice' and 'Not to be Loaded with Fish', his 1980s dot-matrix printer piece 'Printmusic', and 'Galactic Interfaces' for self-built instruments, tape, and live electronics.
Many of these pieces haven't been performed publicly in decades; come and hear/see them performed by some of the world's leading performers of experimental and improvised musics, many of whom have worked with Davies during their distinguished careers.
