TUESDAY 15th September 2009
Times : 8pm
Tickets : £6
Clang Sayne began in 2006 when London based songwriter, Laura Hyland set about making a live album. Her aim has always been to bring the atmosphere of a song to life - to create 'songworlds' as opposed to songs. To this end, the making of the album led her to explore the crossover between song and sound improvisation.
Three years later, having collaborated with various players from the London improvisation community, Clang Sayne became a quartet - Laura Hyland (voice and guitar), James O Sullivan (electric guitar and objects), Pete Marsh (double bass) and Matt Fisher (percussion). They have recently recorded their debut album, 'Winterlands'.
To celebrate the album launch they will also be joined by four improvisors with whom Laura has performed her songs over the last few years - Guillaume Viltard (double bass), Ute Kanngiesser (cello), Grundik Kasyansky (electronics) and Natasha Lohan (voice)

CLORINDE
Clorinde was formed in 2005 by two Italian brothers, musicians and visual artists: Simone Salvatici and Andrea Salvatici. Their compositions are based on a minimalist approach towards repetition, melodies, rhythm and sounds resulting in beautiful fragile balance between tight cyclic structures and free form improvisation.
Multi-istrumentalists, Andrea and Simone make extensive use of acoustic instruments taken from Western and Non Western folk traditions (among others, mandolins, banjos, bouzoukis, guitars , vibraphones, african kalimbas, zithers, clarinet, bass, electric organ, various drums and percussions) extrapolated from their original conventional tunings and processed into electronic devices and amplification.
