Elliot Galvin piano & synths / Ruth Goller vocals & bass / Mandhira de Saram violin / Sebastian Rochford drumsThe first of three special performances in the intimate surroundings of Low Four Studios, to be filmed live for the YouTube series: Live from Low Four Studios . Please note, this event is a seated performance that will be filmed and recorded in full, with cameras and sound recording equipment present and visible throughout the performance.
An artist with little need for introductions, Elliot Galvin is a long-time trailblazer in the UK jazz firmament, with four solo albums that have seen him top album of the year lists in Downbeat and Jazzwise. He’s also a member of the Mercury-nominated Dinosaur, and collaborates with Shabaka, Emma-Jean Thackray, Norma Winstone, Marius Neset and Mark Lockheart.
His new album release The Ruin marks a new start. This is his most personal album to date, written on his childhood piano and inspired by the bleak yet beautiful landscapes of his hometown. The music free-flows between serpentine piano and modular synth lines, weaving and colliding around ephemeral vocalisations, deceivingly groove-heavy percussion, and intricate, soulful improvisations. For this concert, he is joined by estimable guest musicians and friends from the UK scene: renowned bassist and vocalist Ruth Goller (Acoustic Ladyland, Skylla), pioneering violinist Mandhira de Saram (Anna Meredith, Ligeti Quartet) and Polar Bear drummer and Patti Smith/Damon Albarn collaborator Sebastian Rochford.
