LIGHT AND SOUND Leonie Cohen + Yao Mikami - Duo
Jazz pianist Leonie Cohen and multimedia artist Yao Mikami first improvised together on stage in 2025 without ever having met before. Cohen created spontaneous musical landscapes at the piano while Mikami responded in real time with live imagery using an overhead projector.
This second collaboration deepens that creative connection. Light and water have long been recurring themes in Cohen’s music, providing the perfect counterpart to Mikami’s mesmerising liquid-light projections. Together they create an immersive dialogue of sound, movement and image.
Paul Cutlan + Abby Constable - Duo
Light is often invoked as a metaphor for spiritual energy, transformation and self-realisation. Ffew tapped this potential with the intensity of John Coltrane, particularly in his groundbreaking collaborations with drummer Rashied Ali.
Drawing inspiration from that legacy, multi-reed player Paul Cutlan and powerhouse drummer Abby Constable present a set of deeply intuitive and exploratory music. Their performance reaches for the same cathartic and transcendent heights, embracing jazz as a force for connection, healing and renewal.
