Covering an enormous range of sound from a blue tit pecking at an aluminium milk bottle top to apocalyptic calamity, that is WIRED ASSEMBLY
Neil Carver/Ian Simpson/John Jasnoch: electric guitars
The guitar trio Wire Assembly have been resurrected/disinterred after 20 years of hibernation. John Jasnoch and Neil Carver have coerced Ian Simpson into being the Third Man. Covering an enormous range of sound from a blue tit pecking at an aluminium milk bottle top (there were milk bottles when we last played) to apocalyptic calamity we do recommend that you join us in this re-animation.
Personnel: John Jasnoch - guitar
Neil Carver - guitar - will not be there in person
Ian Simpson - guitar
Phil Morton - autoharp.
Plus Mark Hanslip/Mark Jones Duo
Mark Hanslip, saxophone
/Mark Jones, saxaphones
Plus the possibility of a quintet at the end of the night.!

What colours fill the world, Oh mother, what joyfull colours!
I’ve found the Beloved, yes I found him, Right here In my very own courtyard.
Some things just beg for a little color or the addition of a small sculpture. This stump is in a public park.

Here’s the blank canvas in my new home …. what should I do with it (other than paint over the ugly blue wall) ?
(a) photo studio
(b) home theatre
(c) both
I’m thinking (c) …. how about …. theatre seats that can be dragged (or maybe rolled) out to the walls to open up the space; white wall or backdrop/screen to project on to AND take photos in front of; strobes, lightstands, etc around the walls when watching movies;
What would you do with a blank canvas like this ?

This originally was just an idea for my sister to run around with a sheet on her head. But after struggling over picking a photo to edit, and then looking at it, I thought I would try a conceptual approach. The darkness represents the girls dark past, and the white sheet and her flying represents escaping it.
The blank sheet could also represent a clean start, or a blank canvas yet to be discovered.
I am actually quite proud of this.
OH YEAH AND I GOT MY FILM CAMERA FIXED! Well technically, it wasn't ever broken. The man said that I needed to press this button on the bottom of my camera before taking out the film and it wouldn't tear. YAY.
And I got some new nice "portra" film that I can't wait to use!! Thanks mom!! <3
YAY IM SO HAPPY
Staring at the blank canvas.
Where to begin when confronted with a blank canvas? Formless and empty. Without scale or constraint. Free of all illusion. Waiting. Silent. With infinite possibilities. Infinite outcomes...
...I’d just like a fish.

Trio 876
(Marcello Magliocchi - percussion; Matthias Boss - violin; Jean-Michel van Schouwburg - voice)
Marcello Magliocchi is a pioneer in avant garde jazz in South Italy since the 1970s. He has toured with Steve Lacy, William Parker, and many of the Italian jazz scene (including Enrico Rava, Roberto Ottaviano and Enrico Pieranunzi). He designs his own instruments and builds sounds installations using percussion.
Matthias Boss is a wizard violinist on a par with improv maestros like Jon Rose and Zingaro. His sound, technique and melodic sense are all of the highest level - a stalwart of the great Swiss improvising scene for decades now.
Jean-Michel van Schouwburg is a rarity: a male improvising singer exploring the possibilities and extremities of the human voice. He has performed and recorded with John Russell, Lawrence Casserley, Paul Dunmall and Sabu Toyozumi, and also acted in the award winning movie Berberian Sound Studio.
A note from the curators: this gig marks a welcome return to Liverpool for vocalist Jean-Michel, following on from his highly successful workshop at Bluecoat Arts Centre in October 2014, and we very much look forward to future visits and collaborations!

The Huddersfield Trio
(Mark Hanslip - tenor saxophone; Phil Morton - accidents & treatments; Phillip Marks - drums/percussion)
Mark Hanslip first came to recognition as a sideman on the UK jazz scene in the mid-2000s, during which he gradually gravitated towards purely improvised music. He currently plays with Twelves, drummer Tony Bianco’s Utoma Quartet, and more locally with an array of improvising musicians and dancers.
Phillip Marks is best known for co-leading the trio Bark! whose CDs for Evan Parker’s psi label have attracted significant acclaim. He also plays regularly in pianist Stephen Grew’s quartet and in duo with reedist Mick Beck.
Phil Morton has 30 years experience in the nature and practice of free improvisation. Pauline Oliveros, Maggie Nicols,Phil Minton, Steve Beresford, Simon H. Fell, Carlos Zingaro are a few important artists he has worked with or learned from. He co-founded the Frakture organisation, is a well-known acoustic ecologist leading ‘sound-walks’ around the city, has made presentations at conferences and as a musician has worked nationally and internationally.

Detail of 'Blank Canvas', a new lifesize steel artwork by Ray Lonsdale at South Bank in Teesside. The cor-ten steel it's made of gives it a deliberately rusty appearance.
"When you give him a canvas, you shouldn't tell him exactly how much paint to put on it, or exactly how sharp the images should be. You should let the artist get going"
- Reed Hundt-
A blank canvas can be considered art, but is it really? The absence of any subject, form, or color is taking the idea of minimalism to the extreme. And a bit too far if you ask me! Minimalism as a technique in photography can refine a photograph and poignantly illuminate the subject and other aspects of the image. What do you think? :)
