Toshimaru Nakamura & Jean-Luc Guionnet, Fri 20 March, 21:00-21:45, Glasgow University Chapel

Who

Toshi is one of the great Japanese minimal improvisers; Jean-Luc a French saxophonist/ composer/ organist/ field recording artist.

What

Toshi turns his mixing desk into an instrument of fizzing electric potential by looping the output back into the input, creating a feedback system. Jean-Luc's blasts of electronic sounding sax/ organ always sit best next to the static fuzz of abused hardware.

Why

They're great musicians and improvisers. They disabuse you of any notion of electro-acoustic music or "improv" being short of bare-knuckle thrills.
