Event overview
Electroinstrumental is an experimental performance space for improvised and devised music with acoustic instruments, voice, live electronics, and digital intermedia.
Featuring:
Pete Furniss (clarinet / bass clarinet)
Kirke Gross (cello) & Noah Berrie (violin and electronics) – duo
Kirke Gross & Noah Berrie are an energetic violin/cello duo, finding fertile musical ground between precise tonality and chaotic expressivity. Equally versed in underground and academic experimentalism, they are currently working on a piece for strings and resonant metal plates to be released early next year.
Kirke is a London-based Estonian cellist, improviser and composer. She is active in London music scene as an improviser and as part of different groups in experimental and pop music. She also has her own solo project - Ramilda. Currently, she is pursuing a MMus Performance degree at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Noah is a London-based composer, sound artist, performer, and a classically-trained violinist. His work explores perceptual and spatial subtleties of sound, spanning improvisatory performance, multichannel audio, video, installation, instrument-building, and composition. He is currently in residence at Alexander Lee McQueen’s Sarabande Foundation.
Pete Furniss is based in London and has performed internationally for 30 years across and between a broad range of genres, including orchestral and chamber music, contemporary, experimental and electronic musics, free improvisation and improvised theatre projects. His practice is currently focused on electro-instrumental improvisation and collaboration, with an emphasis on liveness(es), embodied and material agencies, and shifting notions of the ‘instrument’.
Recent recordings include Bitter Together and Will of the People (Fabrikant Records) with guitarist Haftor Medbøe, and the triptych Alison – Heated – Forest (sumtone) with Scottish collective Edimpro. Forthcoming releases include solos, collaboration with Dave Murray-Rust (electronics), Agneesh Dutta & Swarnavo Datta (guitar, drums), and an album celebrating 10 years of working with Martin Parker’s immersive, interactive software environment gruntCount.
Pete has been a Lecturer in Music Performance at Goldsmiths since 2017, and from 2024 will taking up a new lecturing position at the University of Manchester.
