Finding Languages.

A new series of improvisations by Kaffe Matthews, live in Berlin, 
January 2024. Please listen on full range speakers.



Improvised music made with the outcomes of the Ripley, an instrument occupied with the generation and processing of all colours of noise, designed through alchemical discoveries made by the British alchemist George Ripley in the 15th century. 
Noise, colours, lightning, square waves, vomited wings and feathers. Mashed through clocks and salt and fed by mercury to feed the final output, the Toad, - the gold ? 

2024 and we are joined by the WORM on vocals.

Improvised music made live with the outcomes of the Ripley, an instrument occupied with the generation and processing of all colours of noise, designed through alchemical discoveries made by the British alchemist George Ripley in the 15th century. Noise, colours, lightning, square waves and clocks, vomited wings and feathers mashed through salt, fed by mercury to feed the final output, the Toad, the gold ?  Maybe then to recirculate.
