Shackle concert at the Brunel Sound Series in Cafe Oto, London216



Tickets : £5 adv / £4 concs
Location: 18 - 22 Ashwin street, Dalston London
Time: 8PM

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. This is the first event in Brunel@Café Oto, a new series of events organised in collaboration with the Music Department at Brunel University to coincide with a visit by the artists presenting new work at the University.

Shackle is Anne La Berge on flute and electronics and Robert van Heumen on laptop. Their aim is to explicitly and subtly exploit shackling in both concept and material.

"This extraordinarily inventive duo has a way of making music all their own. At the heart of their duo is a self-designed, cutting-edge digital cueing system which operates as a sometimes visible third member. Both prodding and reactive, the Shackle system suggests musical directions and textures to these two highly gifted performers, opening up a fascinating array of sonic choices for La Berge and Van Heumen to both play with and against.
