About this Event
Twenty years after his debut, The Complete Guide to Insufficiency, David Thomas Broughton continues to craft music that intertwines beauty and discomfort, spanning solo projects and diverse collaborations.
His discography includes 2007’s one-take album with jazz-folk quartet 7 Hertz, 2010’s Outbreeding produced by Andy Ramsey (Stereolab), the feedback-laced UnAbleTocassette from 2013, and 2014’s Sliding The Same Way with vocal trio Juice. In 2016, he collaborated remotely with various artists on Crippling Lack. The next release will be an improvised trio recording with and pianist Matthew Bourne and drummer Neil Turpin.
Broughton’s performances are known for their spontaneity and improvisation, moving between intimacy, humour, improvisation and abstraction often
