The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble with support: Anne Chris Bakker

 Registration is closed for this event
As one half of the electronic music sensation Goldfrapp, Will Gregory is passionate about creating new sounds and reinventing old ones. Here a stellar line-up stretches the possibilities of the Moog synthesiser through newly composed music, transcriptions of classical works, and their own versions of music from popular culture and film. Marvel at 10 musicians on stage, including Portishead’s Adrian Utley and composer Graham Fitkin, performing works by Bach, John Carpenter, Burt Bacharach and Oliver Messiaen on a fascinating array of vintage instruments.

To mark the 10th anniversary of Robert Moog’s death, a new piece by Will Gregory features a clocking device specially built for the ensemble that enables all 10 synths to be synced, producing music previously impossible to perform live. The result will be the audio equivalent of a Bridget Riley painting; full of colour and interlocking complexity whilst driving and immediate.

As a prelude to The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, Resound presents Anne Chris Bakker, an experimental musician from the Netherlands, whose work lies somewhere between electroacoustic, ambient and minimal. Texture is essential and he creates pieces that are not purely melodic but more abstract, giving the listener more space for their own interpretation. Silence also plays an important role in his compositions and can be seen as a statement against today’s modern society where there is less time for slowness, reflection and tranquillity. Anne Chris searches for new ground to sit, to look, to wander and to be still. His guitar playing using a violin bow and electronic treatments will leave you spellbound. A perfect antidote to a hectic world.
