Laughter of Saints formed in lockdown 3.2 from spontaneous musical moments forged in studio haven spaces, forest walks and sites of sonic beauty. A dream to not only be in but out too, with the acoustics of living wood, rocks, bird and water. Old abandonned pillboxes, tunnels and sites provide stage for speaking with the acoustic ghosts. Channelled songs of the laughing ancestors, if all goes to the plan of presence. Practicing freedom, laughter, lightness, stuckness, staying and going
Celeste Cantor-Stephens and Alex Heane’s free improv duo begs, borrows and steals from the sounds of jazz, klezmer, noise,contemporary folk, theatre and the depths of your great grandma’s secret cupboard. Based in trumpet, upright bass and other sources, they’ll explore The Universe, Bristol, and the dark corners of The Crofters Rights in their free-form, freewheeling duet format
