(Sunday 13th May /8 pm /£10 advance)
Esmerine was co-founded ten years ago by percussionist Bruce Cawdron (Godpseed You! Black Emperor) and cellist Rebecca Foon (Thee Silver Mt. Zion). They have released three critically-acclaimed albums that have one foot in the new music/experimental terrain of contemporaries like Rachel's or Town And Country and the other in the more visceral and lyrical landscape populated by the likes of Dirty Three (and GY!BE themselves). Their latest record, 2011’s La Lechuza, is a stunning example of modern chamber music at its very best.
Also sharing the stage is fellow Constellation records star Eric Chenaux. Chenaux is one of Canada's most respected and long-standing experimental guitar players and songwriters. His recent work has been more overtly song based, his clear voice and erudite lyricism guided by an utterly unique guitar technique and a deep immersion in pop and folk traditions from medieval to post-modern.
Support will also come in the form of the breathtaking electro-acoustic compositions of Olan Mill, the collaborative project of Alex Smalley and Svitlana Samoylenko.
