L’Instant Donné is an instrumental ensemble based in Paris devoted to the interpretation of contemporary chamber music. Since its foundation in 2002, the ensemble has functioned as a collective, with a fixed line-up of nine musicians, and has built its reputation upon high quality chamber ensemble performances, by preference working without a conductor. 

L'Instant Donné has appeared at many leading venues and festivals, including Festival d’Automne à Paris, Agora-Ircam (Paris), Musica (Strasbourg), Wittener Tage and WDR3-Köln (Germany), CDMC-Madrid (Spain), Musikprotokoll (Graz, Austria), Manchester International Festival (UK), Luxemburg Philharmonie, and widely across Europe, and as far afield as Morocco, Argentina, Brazil,  Peru or South Africa.

Since its debut in 2002, EXAUDI has emerged as one of Britain’s leading contemporary music ensembles. Founded by James Weeks (director) and Juliet Fraser (soprano), EXAUDI is based in London and draws its singers from among the UK’s brightest vocal talents. EXAUDI’s special affinity is for the radical edges of contemporary music, at home equally with maximal complexity, microtonality and experimental aesthetics. EXAUDI celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2012 with major UK and international tours and new commissions from Matthew Shlomowitz, Joanna Bailie, Bryn Harrison and Aaron Cassidy, amongst others.
 
EXAUDI gratefully acknowledges support from the PRS for Music Foundation.

I'm a sound artist and composer living in London but active throughout the UK and  abroad. I'm an unashamed throwback to the 60s and enjoy breaking things to hear what they sound like.

Ever since its formation Ensemble Musikfabrik has had the reputation of being one of the leading ensembles for contemporary music. Following the literal meaning of its name, Ensemble Musikfabrik is particularly dedicated to artistic innovation. New, unknown, and often personally commissioned works in an unusual media are typical of their productions. The results of their extensive work, usually taking place in close collaboration with the composers, are presented by the Cologne-based international soloist ensemble in about 80 concerts a year in both Germany and abroad, at Festivals, in their own series “Musikfabrik in WDR” and in regular radio recordings and CD productions.
