Strange, intense and extreme lll人 (pronounced /el/) is the trio of Daichi Yoshikawa (feedback, objects), Paul Abbott (real and imaginary drums) and Seymour Wright (actual and potential saxophone). Together they have developed extraordinary sounds, and a complex, significant body of work since emerging in 2012 from the sweat-haze of regular subterranean London meets. With no obvious comparisons, the trio is still finding, twisting and hammering out an expanding musical universe balanced only by its own logics. lll人 grow and slice open growths of future sound, testing extremes, and perfectly reasonable. The tools are familiar, the listening is not.

Having together learnt lll人 music through knotted London languages, these events find the trio revisiting Hackney currents through a sonic, affective transformation of the rude architecture of the Cafe Oto Project Space.

The trio will perform for 2 hours each night. This will be a rare, and raw exploration. 

Recent records include 'vjerhanxsk' and 'gjērhan'.

Daichi Yoshikawa is a Japanese sound artist based in London and Berlin.
