Join us for a special, fleeting afternoon of improvised music.

livegroup is an improvisation group founded by Nis Bysted and Agnete Hannibal of Copenhagen label Escho. Musicians change depending on the time and place. We're very happy to welcome Nis Bysted (guitar), Rune Kielsgaard (drums), Lia Mazzari (cello) and Agnete Hannibal (cello) as they pass through Bristol on their way to London before returning to Copenhagen.

Following livegroup, it's a real honour to have an improvised collaboration between the wonderful & celebrated musicians John Bisset (lapsteel guitar), Phil Minton (voice) and Luigi Marino (percussion).

John Bisset is a musician and visual artist based in London. His work ranges between free improvisation and composition including songmaking/singing. He has recently released a collaboration with Rhodri Davies and is currently exploring an increasingly abstract sound world on the lap steel guitar.

Phil Minton is an improvising vocalist whose 'extended techniques’ can be as unsettling as they can be mesmerising. His vocals often include the sounds of retching, burping, screaming, and gasping, as well as childlike muttering, whining, crying and humming; he also has an ability to distort his vocal chords to produce two notes at once.

Luigi Marino is a musician based in Bristol. His work focuses on networks able to display relationships between human and nonhuman actors with particular attention to how intuitive decisions can profoundly affect pre-existing conditions. He is an active improvisor performing on both electronic media and percussion, especially zarb and bowed custom cymbals.
