we braved the pennine crossing and played a great gig with my friend geoff and his big bass saxophone.

Happy 77th birthday to the one-and-only Fred Frith, born #OTD in 1949. Unique in the field, he has experimental music he has produced a staggering body of work, both solo and in collaboration with so many others, across almost 60 years.

It was a real highlight to see him live in Glasgow last May: the sense of space, the sense of play, the sense of reaching beyond.

My solo album for cello and objects MECHANICS is now available, on CD and cassette.

#improvisation #preparedcello #extendedtechniques #mechanics #solo #cello #album #cd #cassette #recordingsession

MECHANICS is an experimental discographic concept: for the first time, listening to the album is also an improvising act. Each CD or cassette contains a different recording: unique copies, but impossible to distinguish in their serialized packaging.

MECHANICS, for prepared cello, is now available, on CD and cassette!
