Raw Tonk Records is een label uit Londen gespecialiseerd in free jazz en improvisatie, geleid door saxofonist Colin Webster. Dit jaar viert het label zijn vijfde verjaardag met een reeks van concerten. Voor het 'festival' in de Singer, wordt dit een bloemlezing uit de catalogus van het label. 3 duo's : KODIAN Trio's Colin Webster op sax en drummer Andrew Lisle spelen samen, gitarist Dirk Serries wordt verzocht voor de eerste maal samen te spelen met geluidskunstenaar Graham Dunning en vervolgens speelt Ripsaw Catfish, een duo bestaande uit bariton saxofoniste Cath Roberts en gitarist Anton Hunter. 5 Years of Raw Tonk Records London based record label Raw Tonk Records celebrates five years of existence with a series of events, including a short tour in Belgium and The Netherlands. The show will feature three duo sets by artists from the label, showcasing some of the diverse fringes of improvised music and free jazz. Ripsaw Catfish Ripsaw Catfish is the collaborative duo of Cath Roberts (baritone saxophone) and Anton Hunter(guitar). Their music employs a collection of pre-composed elements which can then be drawn upon, or not, during the course of an improvisation. The Manchester and London-based musicians started meeting in 2013 and released their debut album ‘For The Benefit Of The Tape’ in 2014. Colin Webster / Andrew Lisle The London based sax and drums pairing of Colin Webster and Andrew Lisle are quickly establishing themselves on the European avant garde scene, both as a duo and working with a broad range of collaborators including Dirk Serries and John Dikeman. Their debut album as a duo, ‘Firehouse Tapes’ was released on in 2015. Dirk Serries / Graham Dunning Known for his highly prolific career as an ambient, drone, and industrial composer, Belgian guitarist Dirk Serries has spent the last few years diving deep into the world of improvised music, releasing numerous collaborations and also his solo album ‘Etched Above The Bow Grip’. For this concert, Dirk will collaborate for the first time with British sound-artist and Graham Dunning who improvises using prepared turntable, and unique dubplates of field recordings and found sounds.
