Philip Jeck creates slowly evolving symphonies that are as much about the crackling hiss of old vinyl as the actual ‘musical’ material.

With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
