May 8, 2012 Shackle Affair: Yedo Gibson & The Shackle Stick Video-Tape Party275 Location: Zaal 100, De Wittenstraat 100, Amsterdam Time: 21:00h Shackle Affair is Shackle’s research into new territory. Teaming up with guests, this time Yedo Gibson. Yedo Gibson was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1981. At the age of 11 he started to play the tenor saxophone and on his 15ths was giving classes at the AquiJazz conservatoire in Sao Paulo and playing all over Brazil with various musicians such as Mario Margarido,"Panda" Gianfratti, Ricardo Zoio and others. In the beggining of 2004 he moved to London where was working with Veryan Weston, Sakoto Fukuda, Hanna Marshal and Nana Tisiboe, started the Quintet of Uncertainty, a group that performed at the BBC, The Vortex Jazz Club and other places in London. Also, Yedo joined the London Improvisers Orchestra together with improvisers from London like Evan Parker, Steve Beresford, Lol Coxhill, Marcio Mattos and others. Moving to The Netherlands in 2006 he founded The Royal Improvisers Orchestra (RIO) a group of 20 young musicians from all kind of backgrounds playing improvised music conducted by him and other musicians from the orchestra. Also in Amsterdam he started a trio with Oscar Jan Hoogland and Gerri Jager “EKE” with is as he calls his Punk Improv project where Oscar uses his Electric Clavivhord and Yedo his Baritone Sax together with Gerri’s Rock drums. Shackle is Anne LaBerge on flute and electronics and Robert van Heumen on laptop and controllers. Their aim is to explicitly and subtly exploit shackling in both concept and material. Improvisation and structure coincide effortlessly in Shackle’s music. With uncanny transitions that turn on a dime and long, spun-out tapestries of sound, Shackle’s music works on two levels at once: full of delightful discoveries that can happen in the blink of an eye, La Berge and Van Heumen savour the possibilities that those discoveries offer up.
