Jim Cuomo and the 8-BIT REtroVOLUTION

Composer/saxophonist Jim Cuomo is a legend. In the 80's, having worked with everyone from John Cage to Marianne Faithfull, he began writing music for some classic early 8-bit Amiga and Gameboy computer games. He has recently become a cult 'father' figure for a whole new generation of retro 8-bit sound enthusiasts. Today he still uses these old machines to produce and perform elaborate contemporary compositions.

Tonight, Cuomo's first London concert in many years, he performs some of his 'Greatest Bits' in collaboration with Sargasso artists Daniel Biro and Rob Palmer as well as and special vocalist guests Jacek Ludwig Scarso and Maya Sapone. Old and new technologies meet, marry and live happily ever after. Not to be missed!

ALYONA VI

‘Alyona VI’ is an extreme performance experience that mixes Hip-Hop, poetry, immersive electronic sounds but transcends any recognisable genre. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes surreal, always profoundly original. ‘Alyona’ is a full, over an hour-long performance featuring David Mapp's beautifully visceral rap/monologue about gender confusion, sexual imagery, violence, angst and distress, Lee Richardson's mashed-up dance beats and Rob Godman acousmatic sound designs. All three protagonists lead a double life of senior lecturers at Hertfordshire University by day and composers/producers of experimental music by night.

Please be aware: this performance contains strobe lighting, strong language and material that some may find offensive.

Booking details coming soon. For more info go to: Alyona
