A gig held at The Cube on Saturday 20th September. The event starts at 19:30.
In’sive is a new important film about Bristol’s no-wave and experimental music scene. Shot with and about the musicians who shape it, the film brings together members of Ex Agent, Improv’s Greatest Hits, Broadsheets, Distraxi, Foot Foot, Dan Johnson, Evo Ethel, and others.
PROGRAMME:
- Archie TTwheam - Piano, alto sax and samples - 7:30ish
- Esther Polloc - Acoustic Foot Foot - 8:15
- in'sive film - 9:00
- Improv set with artists in the film!! (after film)
- Collapsing Drums DJ set (until late)
Expect dissonant sax and piano, frantic guitars, tape textures, stripped-back drums, and sharp turns. These are artists described as “sitting restlessly between post-rock and free jazz” and “using improvised music to mix musical and social scenes”.
in’sive was created by Pablo Jiménez‑Moreno, a Bristol-based improviser and music enthusiast whose work explores the connection between sound, people, and space—whether architectural, urban, or shared.
This is a must for anyone tuned into Bristol’s experimental edge. It's about what happens when people show up for one another—on stage, in conversation, and in life.
