Soundhunt is delighted to present two contrasting duos of improvised music. Violinist Angharad Davies’s approach to sound involves attentive listening and exploring beyond the sonic confines of her instrument and performance expectation. She and double bassist Dominic Lash have been working together for twenty years, and this concert celebrates the release of their first duo CD, gwaith anwel on Flung Records. Recorded in Oxford’s Holywell Music Room, one of Europe’s oldest purpose-built concert halls, the album distils years of mutual listening, improvisation and artistic exchange, bearing traces of a shared musical path shaped through collaborations with figures as diverse as Tony Conrad, Éliane Radigue, Jürg Frey, and many others. In contrast, this evening will feature the first duo performance of clarinettist Tim Hogkinson and guitarist N.O. Moore. Tim Hogkinson co-founded the politically and musically radical group Henry Cow with Fred Frith in 1968. His compositions have been interpreted in many international festivals (and featured in Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island ) and he is also a very active improviser in groups such as Konk Pack (with Roger Turner and Thomas Lehn).
