Inspired by modern electronic musicians such as Floating Points, Maribou State, Thom Yorke and Jojo Mayer, Matt and Phreds new night The Hybrid Sessions sets out to reverse engineer digital music and to explore its creation through a combination of live instrumentation with electronic production.
Curated by drummer and artist Laurie Agnew, this new night aims to open doors for musicians who wish to explore electronic music and improvisation.
Each event will feature a guest artist, which will imbue each night with idiosyncrasy and individuality. The stage will also be open for others to join in with the music, be it as an instrumentalist or vocalist.
A hybrid drum kit, percussion and Ableton Push will be available as well as vocal mics, guitar and bass amp. The opportunity to create live music with an electronic aesthetic will be instantaneous.
The inclusion of unique instrumentation is actively encouraged (the stranger the better) however, if your instrument will require particular time or attention to set up please contact the venue before hand.
The goal of The Hybrid Sessions is to be an inclusive space but participation will be at the organisers discretion. Respect must be shown to the artists with which you are playing and to the equipment provided, but above all else participation will require a commitment to the risk of creating live music through improvisation. Dock of the Bay is a wonderful song, but this is not the night for it.
