Shbobo/Shnth/Ciat-Lonbarde

So back in March I got some funding from my school to bring one of my favorite instrument makers to the UK.

Peter Blasser has been making crazy amazing instruments for years now, and I’ve been using them from the point they were first available as kits (the original Fourses/Fyrall).

Peter has started a new company focusing on digital/embedded instruments, the first of which is the Shnth. I can attest to it’s kickass-ness.

Check out all the links to learn more about it, but this post is mainly about two videos. The first is an excerpt from a performance Peter and I did. The second is an amazing documentary (by Angela Guyton) about the workshop itself.

Their last creation is Seul à Seuls by Georges Aperghis premiered in late 2006 at the Musica Festival in Strasbourg (France).

As an improvisor, he participates at numerous meetings in Europe and in North America and plays regularly in ensembles in forms that mix improvised acoustic & electroacoustic music, 'performance art', dance, poetry, experimental cinema, photography and video...

With the cellist Martine Altenburger, he founded in 2006 the ensemble]h[iatus, a contemporary music ensemble whose its members are at the same time interpreters and improvisers. They commissioned a piece to the composer Vinko Globokar that has been premiered in September 2009.

He works regularly with dancers. One of the last projects is Delay vs Trio, a piece using computers with the dancers Franck Beaubois and Patricia Kuypers where a movie is 'built' step by step on the spot. Ninh currently worked with the choreographer Clara Cornil for (H)AND(S) a piece for 5 dancers and 2 musicians that has been premiered in February 2009.

His discography counts about 40 CD on european and north american labels.

Other Info
Rodrigo Constanzo will be performing a live set of improvised music using his 'drums' setup which includes very little drums at all. A three piece, nearly child's sized kit, is modified, and augmented by home made electronic instruments including a three tiered zither like instrument, 'electronic whisks', circuit-bent drum machines, a nearly endless amount of brick-a-brack, and a vibrating sex toy, for good measure.
The recent addition of a laptop and monome controller adds an additional layer of glitched out electronics including realtime concatenative synthesis and live sampling/processing. 
The symbiosis happens between the performer and his instrument, the individual instruments and their electronic/DIY extensions, and the analog and digital electronics used.
