On their way to the Dig That Treasure! Fest at Cafe Oto in London we are extremely pleased to be hosting two of the finest in current experimental music.In an age where traditional musics are dug up, polished and sold in increasingly banal forms, Harry Gorski-Brown’s melange of studio and live recordings, text-to-speech voices, deep drones and an oddball sense of humour feels truly radical. This comes as no surprise, given his latest album found a home on Scotland’s GLARC label. His recordings are largely of Scottish-Gaelic folk songs, arranged for pipes, voice, bouzouki, fiddle and electronics. They bubble and drone, with screeches of harsh noise interlocking with beautiful traditional melodies; neither anachronistic nor passé. He was recently an artist-in-residency at Nonclassical and has performed at the likes of Counterflows and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
Eric Chenaux is one of Canada's most respected and long-standing experimental guitar players and songwriters, starting with legendary Toronto punk band Phleg Camp in the early 90s and tirelessly expanding his musical vocabulary and reach in countless improv, avant-folk, damaged jazz and contemporary music ensembles throughout the 2000s. Since 2006, Constellation has been home to Chenaux's more overtly song-based work, his clear voice and erudite lyricism guided by an utterly unique guitar technique and a deep immersion in pop and folk traditions from medieval to post-modern.
“I’m in love with Eric Chenaux’s Guitar & Voice... Whether Chenaux is delivering compelling images atop gentle guitar solos or producing long, airy drones, the sound throughout is intoxicating.” - Stereophile
