SHEFFIELD BAR ABBEY 21st Sept 2008. 8pm

Two of the UK's busiest leftfield promoters, NO-FI and [NO.SIGNAL] join forces this September to present APPROXIMATELY INFINITE UNIVERSE - A CARAVAN OF RAW SOUND MAGIC FROM FINLAND AND THE US, an eight-date tour, supported by Contemporary Music Network and media sponsored by The Wire Magazine, which will travel the length of the UK. Featuring special commissions and unique collaborations from some of the most innovative and exciting acts of Finland's underground with the superb ISLAJA, the multi-layered KEMIALLISET YSTAVAT, the drones of ES and the noise of TOMUNTONTTU (Jan Anderzen) – most represented by the influential and exploratory label FONAL. Each will musically entangle themselves amongst an uncompromising host of Americans, including the home-recorded acid folk of Fursaxa; the MV & EE member SAMARA LUBELSKI, the 'Terry Riley-fused with Kate Bush' impossibility of Axolotl, the 'coal-powered spacecraft from some steampunk parallel universe' that is BLEVIN BLECTUM and the noise duo from SKATERS

Each performance a unique and brand new collaboration, each of the acts features a combination of Finnish artists from FONAL, who have invited a US counterpart to collaborate on a composition, highlighting the parallels in strands of the recent evolving trend of 'weird/avant folk' between the US West coast and Finland's northern communities.
The performances will be made of material composed in the months leading up to the tour and worked in 2 days rehearsal. The concerts will take the form of two acts with the 4 groupings rotating during each act.

NO-FI and [NO.SIGNAL] - in conjunction with the artists themselves - designed this approach as a way of taking the aforementioned trans-Atlantic influence exchange, trapping it in a vacuum and making it feedback on itself in order create a whole family of brand new musical beasts.

Exclusive screenings curated by FONAL-founder Sami Sanpakkila and a selection of commissioned work which will take place before live performances.

The concerts will be recorded and later released as digital only compilations

UK TOUR - Sheffield 26.9.08 Body: SONNY SIMMONSThe disciple of Charlie Parker. The heir of John Coltrane and Albert Ayler. The partner of Eric Dolphy - Sonny Simmons stands tall. Coming out of Oakland, California in the '60s, Simmons has worked with McCoy Tyner, Charles Mingus, Anthony Braxton, Sunny Murray, Don Cherry, Andrew Cyrille, Bobby Few, Charles Moffett and countless others. Though not a die-hard avant gardist (he sticks in his own provocative way to the tradition), he was a leading figure in the '60s free jazz scene in New York, and his ESP-disk recordings are rightly regarded as classics of the genre. Based in New York, since his re-emergence in the '90s he has continued to produce ground breaking recordings and live shows. "The kind of gig where you can't believe that the musicians will be able to find fresh and exciting ideas after the first few demented bars - but the miracle repeats itself again and again until the end" was just one audience comment the last time this astonishing group played Freenoise. "His music carries an impact exceptional even among players in this idiom: toughened by his R&B background, perhaps, he can deliver solos in the free idiom of power and strength" Richard Cook's Jazz Encyclopedia + BECK/DRURY DUO Another new duo to come out of the seemingly inexhaustible Sheffield improv scene. The established and renonwed Beck and relative newcomer Drury create a sound that is at once truly explorative and powerfully succinct. Coming from opposite ends of the culture that is contemporary, avant-garde improv (Drury the rocker-punk-artist, Beck the free jazz shaman) the two meet to waltz and wrestle with their spontaneous noise output. Expect currents of angst and frustration through to transcendental harmony and love. Mick Beck: Tenor sax, bassoon, whistles. Jonny Drury: Electric guitar, piano. + ARCHER/MONK DUO he seriously leftfield poetry of Geraldine Monk set to the perfect accompaniment which is Archer's extreme software scapes is a thing to behold. Booked immediately after the awesome set at the new Bank St. Studios (pictured) as the audience were still reeling. Martin Archer is Sheffield's maverick electro-acoustic composer and runner of Discus and Geraldine Monk is a published contemporary poet. "Archer's electroacoustic treatments and blends of instrumental timbres and textures are fascinating in their own right - a provocative mixture of the random, the alien and the familiar." - Bill Tilland. BBC Experimental Review. Martin Archer "I build atmospheric narratives gleaned from the coincidences of circumstance and the emotional geography of place. I want the physicality of words to hook around the lurking ghosts and drag them from their petrified corners." - G. Monk.
