Hey! Ho! Let’s Go! Late call, a sudden burst & Sunday service of sound & motion.

Flash show of improvised music. Announced with ten days to go for those on the pulse. A Cube bar room special.

Vava Maudit, the frenetic grind folk punk improv duo from Switzerland pass through Bristol in a surge of crashing drums & wild woodwind.

Something of the collapsing street procession music of the Guatemalan brass group San Lucas Band, the free spirit of Don Cherry’s Organic Music & circular breath of Evan Parker’s saxophone with Beefheart's trout mask thunder.

Active across Europe including dynamic collaborations with trumpeter Silvan Schmid, Brazilian harpist Marina Mello & modular synth player Ilia Belorukov. Vava Maudit have released a self-titled EP on Mexico City-based label Silencio EPI. The duo is Zurich-based Alex Riva with recorders & voice, who has released work on Glasgow’s Scatter Archive & Chicago’s Notice Recordings & Gabriel Valtchev whose kinetic drumming has driven projects such as ublo, Fairuz for Lunch & Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp.

This is a rare UK tour that has been supported by Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council.

A meeting of European DIY improvised music with our own free music makers and a celebration of the Cube community & making space.
