Lullaby

Excerpt from duo between David Grundy (electronics, voice, misc) and Mark Anthony Whiteford (alto saxophone, voice, misc). Pittville Studios (University of Gloucestershire), Cheltenham, 10th July 2010.

This was the first section in an afternoon of group improvisation, which built up from duo to trio to quartet (and, subsequently, to a session with twenty-or-so members of the Cheltenham Improvisers’ Orchestra). Part of a series of collaborations between 2010 and 2011 called the 'Sine Language Project'. sinelanguageproject.blogspot.com/

02 - As If We Fell From The Sky

Solo performance as part of a evening called ‘ACTS’, which I curated in the Oxford Brookes Drama Studio, Headington Hill Campus, Oxford, 29/05/2011. The solo came first, and was followed by an improvised duo between Macarena Ortuzar(butoh dance) and Bruno Guastalla (cello/bandoneon) with lighting by Dariusz Dziala, a performance of John Cage’s 'Four6' by The Set Ensemble (on this occasion, Guastalla, Patrick Farmer, Sarah Hughes & David Stent), and a final improvisation by all six performers.
