ARVY ETHERS

A new collaboration between Harry ‘Iceman’ Furniss on cornet + guitarist Steven Watson. Abstract but also melodic; by turns calm and intense. A quick tag between composition and improvisation, explored in a rare partnership of instruments. They have recently recorded an album with Evo Ethel
Harry is a Bristol alt scene vet, instigator of new scenes, champion of new bands and ubiquitous collaborator to many local old, new +& present acts including this year Minor Conflict / Ex Agent / Mould Glaxo Babies & Lucy Gooch. Blurring genre lines with groups such as Bingo Fury, in various incarnations he has supported innovators like The Fall, James Chance, Keith Tippett + The Ex to name a few plus played with legends such as Damo Suzuki (Can) Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth).
Steve is wizard of textures, superseding the sounds of a regular guitar. His melodic lines weave angular angles that match fully engaged upper torso movements. Taking equal inspiration for example from the jazz of Bill Frisell / classical guitar arrangements of Frederic Mompou + the CBGBness of Television, he wrestles all down to a beautiful pulp.

This baritone guitar -and-drums duo is annoyingly—crooked yet precise. Their improvisations unfold with a punk/jazz ethos with delicate moments that echo the rustling of unseen things.
Chris Langton ( Snazzback / Zoobers etc ) and Micheal Gianan have been working on their improvisational edge to crafted
works and destroying them over and over again Chris + Micheal also run avant jam Outer Edges at The Love Inn.

Heathling is a London-based project made up of harpist and singer Anna McLuckie and flautist Gail Tasker (For Breakfast / MF Tomlinson). Using the intimacy of the duo setting as a launchpad, they explore the old tunes of Scotland, Ireland and Wales via improvisation, experimental electronics, and anti-genre leanings.
