On the evening of the 19/7 will be presented the two last collaborations of Isambard Khroustaliov (aka Sam Britton, from laptop duo Icarus), with percussionist Maurizio Ravalico and German reeds player Lothar Ohlmeier. Both duos have recently recorded an album, planned to be released later this year on the independent label Not Applicable. This is their first official appearance in London.

The music is mostly improvised, and predominantly concrete in the use of the instrumentation. No regular beat or metric recurrence are likely to come out of Isambard’s laptop, or Maurizio’s fine selection of found objects. Isambard’s contribution to the sound construction is non-generative. He doesn't produce any sound of his own with the laptop but picks up, instead, the sound created by the acoustic instruments, processes it in real time (mainly using Max/MSP software) and plays it back to the musician as a mode of improvisation.
The acoustic instruments are not amplified, and Isambard’s speakers are placed very close to the performing musician. An area, both physical and sonic, is created in this way, within which the two performers work at generating one single and undivided sound output. No one is accompanying anybody else; both performers occupy the same sound zone, and are, under all perspectives, playing one single four-handed mega-instrument.
