About:
Hannah Marshall carves pathways into noise and micro-tonality, as well as standard harmonic aspects of the 'Cello, where melody, texture, rhythm & tonality blur. She plays at times with traditional sensibility, and at others times treats the instrument as a collection of parts to be manipulated and re-analysed, often combining the two.
Her broader practice has developed through experiences in western classical music, with bands and with jazz oriented music, Indian classical music, street performance, theatre, tightly rehearsed, devised or spontaneous, and is informed by interests and studies in creative group practice, physicality, pedagogy, natural law & sound healing.
Sylvia Hallett is a significant figure in English improvised music, a multi-instrumentalist of tremendous originality. Playing with groups as diverse as British Summer Time Ends and London Improvisers Orchestra, her discography spans more that thirty years, and includes performances, for starters, on violin, hurdy-gurdy, sarangi, Hardanger fiddle (the one with resonating strings), and bowed bicycle wheels.
On the album Tree Time, Hallett presents music literally drawn from the earth then echoed, transformed, and realized in circuitry. Hallett's description of her inspiration and process defies paraphrase.
