Femme De Musique # 2 at The Greenbank, Bristol
5.00

A gig on Wednesday 27th January. The event starts at 20:00.


Femme de Music is back to lift those January blues with an evening celebrating ladies of LOOP. If you've never seen or heard of a loop pedal before, its a bit like parrot, or a child, that records and repeats what you've just done, over and over, but with multiple layers and dimension. Throw in homemade beats, field recordings, lush harmonies, multiple instruments and foundsounds and you're in for a musically calorific sensual experience. It's been a month since Xmas, you've probably been dieting all January, so we feel like you deserve it.

INTRODUCING:

SUZY CONDRAD

Yes thats right. This lady has been seriously representing ladies of loop, and breaking the myths surrounding #WomenInTech, since she won the UK BOSS Loop Station Championships in 2011, going on to represent UK in the World Championships. We are very excited to have her tonight, as not only are her loop-pop chops exquisitely tight, she uses them to create some beautifully rich, quirky music, using anything and everything you can imagine. Expect the unexpected.

AVA OSBISTON

You may have seen Ava playing alongside Suzy and Wenonoah last November at the Gallimaufry, and although she is so fresh that we don't even have links to share with you yet, this looping starlet is on the rise. Take our word for it though, using vocal loops & percussion, improvised rhythms & harmonies, Ava creates a bed from which her poetically self reflective lyrics rise.

Watch this space.

HOSTED BY:

ISOLDE

Makes one third of the The Eko Trio who you may have seen harmonising at the first FDM in November. In her other musical life, Isolde produces collaged works of foundsounds, field recordings and the musical voices in her head. Live, she translates these with whisks, coathangers, recordings of seagulls, a small orchestra of twinkling trinkets, and a wash of vocal harmonies. Bring your wetsuit and goggles, you'll need them.
