Fred Frith (electric guitar)Best known as a pioneer of the extended electric guitar, Fred Frith has been exploring, collaborating, and crossing borders for more than fifty years. He learned to compose in Henry Cow, developed his song-writing skills in Art Bears, explored his multi-instrumentalism in Skeleton Crew, rocked the house with Massacre and is still doing all of those things, having been in one band or another continuously since 1964! Fred composes extensively for film and dance, and his life-long passion for improvising has seen him work with everyone from Lotte Anker to Camel Zekri. As a guest musician he has played on records by Brian Eno, Material, Negativland, The Residents, Robert Wyatt and John Zorn among many others. Fred is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels’ award-winning film Step Across the Border.
Sets at 8:30 & 10pm
