Music and things that might sound like music by Mat Ward. Noise Art/A  Piano and Bass Duet with Dani Kirby/A 50 plus member Art Ensemble called Then She Reaches The Gun/Deep Research Into Luigi Russolo and his Intonarumori .. thats just the stuff I post regularly : ) Thanks to everyone thats ever stopped by. Music is The Best!

Collaboration between poet Balthazar Mattar and composer Alex Nikiporenko, Pretty Tensions is an exciting new duo reviving the art of melodeclamation and striving to create original works through this practice. Their performances are visceral and intense and engage in creating an abstract atmosphere. The tension between the poetry and the music crafted carefully by the artists to intertwine with one another creates jarring and unnatural combinations which catch the audience off guard.

Both artists are highly fluent in their respective mediums through the skills and experience they have acquired at the top educational establishments. 

Pretty Tensions are hoping to establish themselves on the London arts scene and expand artistically through interdisciplinary collaborations.

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
