About this Event
Workshop special with gabby fluke-mogul & Fred Frith at Ibeam Brooklyn
1:00pm-3:30pm
(Load in at 12:30pm)
Bringing together for the first time their many years of individual experience in leading
improvisation workshops, Frith and fluke-mogul offer a dynamic, integrative, & somatic
space to develop voices and ideas. Open to musical improvisers, some previous experience
is probably a good idea!
Fred Frith is a composer, improviser and educator best known for the reinvention of
the electric guitar that began with Guitar Solos in 1974. He learned his craft playing in
rock bands—notably the iconic Henry Cow—and creating music in the recording
studio. Fred’s work has been performed by ensembles ranging from BBC Scottish
Symphony Orchestra and Eclipse Quartet to Hieronymus Firebrain and Sleepytime
Gorilla Museum. He has also composed extensively for dance and film. As an
improviser Fred has performed with key figures spanning several generations, from
Derek Bailey and Pauline Oliveros to Camille Émaille and gabby fluke-mogul. He
taught for many years at Mills College in Oakland, California and at Musik Akademie
Basel, where he co-directed the Master’s program in improvisation.
gabby fluke-mogul is a New York-based violinist, improviser, composer, educator,
organizer and doula. Weaving within the threads of avant and free jazz, with deep
roots in improvised and experimental music, their music has been described as
“embodied, visceral and virtuosic” and “the most striking sound in improvised music
in years”. gabby is humbled to have collaborated with Nava Dunkelman, Joanna
Mattrey, Ava Mendoza, Charles Burnham, Fred Frith, Luke Stewart, Zeena Parkins,
Tcheser Holmes, Lester St. Louis, William Parker, and Pauline Oliveros among many
other musicians, poets, dancers and visual artists. gfm facilitates improvisation
workshops & curates programming for Creative Music Studio, is adjunct faculty at the
New School, and is a current Roulette Jerome Artist in Residence.
