Event details
You are invited to a celebration of composer and University of Southampton Associate Professor Benjamin Oliver‘s first portrait album TOO MANY SWEETS. The album features artists including Ensemble Saxologie (Montreal), Riot Ensemble, Clíodna Shanahan & Dorothy Chan (New York).
The show, introduced by Matthew Shlomowitz, will feature live performances by Yshani Perinpanayagam, Ben Oliver and Hannah Williams. There will also be screenings of two films featuring Ben’s music by Alys Scott-Hawkins (‘ANIL SOOD’, commissioned London Sinfonietta) and Moe Myat May Zarchi (MOON LANDING (VERSION 2.0 LONGGYI), commissioned Phantom Limb).]
As with the album you can expect “filthy crooked grooves and shameless flirtations with the nearest triad” and the sound of bespoke low-memory synthesisers designed and built by chipmusic composer Blake Troise (aka PROTODOME).
Plus some sugary treats…
