KINGS PLACE 'This is Tuesday/TI4U' present MUSIC AND MACHINES 2 JUNE 2009, 8.00pm

Curated by leading contemporary pianist, Sarah Nicolls (London Sinfonietta, WARP's Alexander's Annexe), Sonatas, Pianos, Machines and Interludes is a night of machine-like pianos and piano-like machines, building on the legacy of extended technique and Cage's experiments into prepared piano. Each idiosyncratic instrument, encompassing the hybrid, the automated and the inside out, has been lovingly developed by its creator/performer, all of whom bring their invention to life in an evening of music on a spectrum from the lyrical to the mechanical.

Featuring German improviser and composer Andrea Neumann, working between electronic and handmade sounds, technical wunderkind Felix's Machines, interdisciplinary artist Kathy Hinde, Sarah Nicolls and the dazzlingly beautiful Piano Baschet-Malbos following its sold out appearance at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
