Music: Nils Frahm

Synopsis

‘A remarkable tumble through the sounds and shapes of his imagination’ Drowned In Sound

Berlin-based pianist and composer Nils Frahm creates his own personal microcosm on stage, a structure of delicate piano sound that has at times a simple, Satie- like joyfulness while at others finds deep resonances from the depths of the piano.

Always restrained yet compelling, his rise has been inexorable in the eighteen months since the release of his hyper-intimate third album ‘Felt’ in 2011.  This one-off UK performance is his first since a brilliant London show at the Hackney Empire in 2012, which marked the 5th Anniversary of his record label Erased Tapes.

With support from: Nancy Eilzabeth

Michael Nyman performs a very rare evening of piano music and film. The renowned composer plays solo piano music from the films on which he has collaborated, including that of Peter Greenaway, Jane Campion and Neil Jordan. He also accompanies a selection of the 70 films that he himself has filmed by observing the lives of people during his travels around the world. The show is a fascinating insight into the visual and musical world of Michael Nyman.

Synopsis

'Tinariwen's angry little brothers are on the rise' Mojo on Tamikrest

Far from being your average band, Tamikrest are a collective of Tuareg musicians from Mali who started playing together in 2006. Inspired by Tinariwen and a new wave of violent civil unrest, their music is blazing the way for the second generation of African blues bands. 

Their songs combine a sense of ancient rhythm with qualities of hypnotic dub, psychedelic funk and an almost supernatural kind of desert garage. They sing in Tamashek and as each song unfolds, the groove deepens and Tamaschek chants merge with seemingly effortless but increasingly intense guitar riffs.  This tour marks the release of their third album Chatma in September 2013.

Tamikrest play at the Howard Assembly Room as part of a focus on West African music and politics in 2013. Other events include Etran Finatawa and a talk by ex-Tinariwen manager and Guardian journalist Andy Morgan.
