Tortoise return to London for a special one-off date at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the London Jazz Festival 2009. The show on 22nd November features material from their new album Beacons of Ancestorship.
Supporting and collaborating on the night are seminal electronic pioneers Cluster, the duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. They return to London following the release of Qua, their first studio album in over a decade, earlier this year.
Taking influence from Tortoise, Trouble Tune is a specially curated afternoon of free live music and visuals exploring the territories between jazz and experimental music. From 3pm on the day, The Clore Ballroom at the Royal Festival Hall will be transformed into a meeting ground for live collaboration between musicians, DJs and visual artists.
This special afternoon will feature a 60-minute DJ set by ‘Appleblim’ (Laurie Osborne), one of the most respected names in UK dubstep; a special collaboration between dubstep multi-instrumentalist Bass Clef (Ralph Cumbers) and a collective of live musicians led by Shabaka Hutchings and Jason Yarde; live dubstep artist Geiom (Kamal Joory); Matt Yee King performing with a piece of computer software which uses live-coding to generate music; plus live visuals by the Tilt Collective.
Keep your eyes peeled next week on TLOBF, as we’ll be giving away a pair of tickets for the Tortoise / Cluster gig…
