4.2.22 Filthy Lucre: Hurricane Bells Rich Mix by Dimitri Djuric (Part 1)

In 2016 the incredible sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard presented his work at Filthy Lucre: Sounding Body. Our friends at @nonclsscl are featuring his audiovisual work TESTIMONIUM this Sunday @barbicancentre! bit.ly/3AWD7mL

Come hear Isabella Gellis' new work 'Bowed and Blowed' premiered by Explore Ensemble this Thursday! It's a brief and boisterous piece about bowing and blowing: the fundamental act of producing noise on ones instrument. Tickets here: listenpony.com/events/21/

This Thursday come hear the premiere of @WMarsey's 'No Verticals' for Explore Ensemble. No Verticals is a line from the instructions in Beckett's very short play Breath. Come join us to hear it at Crypt on the Green. Tickets @ listenpony.com/events/21/

These are always great, so it will be exciting to get to see the virtuosic Explore Ensemble play at this one tomorrow!

A lovely day at @angelstudiosuk recording Capes for Blue Skies, a terrific new piece by Love Ssega (arr Jasmin Kent Rodgman) - thanks for having me Philharmonia Orchestra!

We were lucky enough to hear this live at @HCMFUK and it’s really amazing. The sound of the drums with slack skins really sticks in your bones. Listen here and book for its London performance on the 3rd:

Do check out this wonderful project - if you like filthy lucre, then it’s your kind of thing. The crowdfunder closes tonight.

This is going to be an excellent gig! A kaleidoscope of instruments from such a range of different traditions all playing together.

Lovely to be in Hannover this week with the excellent Musica Assoluta - music by Ying Wang and Mirela Ivičević. Catch the live stream this Friday! musica-assoluta.de/kalender/vorte…

Filthy Lucre’s Music Director William Cole is in Hannover this week, conducting the fantastic ensemble musica assoluta in music by Mirela Ivinevic and Ying Wang. Head to musica-assoluta.de to watch the live stream going out on Friday 6 May!

Inspiring stroll to the Tonstudio Tessmar in Hannover this morning - looking forward to our Vortex concert tomorrow eve, live stream here at 18.00 GMT! tonstudio-tessmar.de/VORTEX

Brilliant day recording Séverine Ballon at The Amadeus Centre playing luminous music by Joe Bates for Filthy Lucre & their forthcoming release with us ⚡🏠 Back in this beautiful venue soon for a gig on 7th June with @KitDownes Colin Alexander +++ More details soon 👀

Sadly, we have to give away our sound icons next week, due to storage problems. Sound Icons are grand pianos stripped of components and turned sideways to be accessible to extended techniques. If anybody wants these beautiful things, they can have them for the price of delivery.

:( If I was in London I would. Any other takers for these wonderful instruments?

A superb video of a new piece by our Artistic Director, Joe Bates!

It's great to see this video of our Sound Icons in use! October House will be releasing Joe Bates's work for them, Us Alone, which came out of our Radulescu project back in 2016. It's been recorded with the amazing Severine Ballon and will be released next Friday!

The Sound Icons project has been one of our longest running fascinations. Before we gave them away this summer, we were able to record this record with our Artistic Director Joe Bates. Do check it: octoberhouserecords.co.uk/albums/us-alon…
