The much anticipated UK début of bemass, postponed from November along with other electronic and acoustic madness.

In Sand and T-toe.

In Sand is another of Gus Garside’s many aggregations. Gus on double bass, Richard Padley on guitar, Thor Magnussen on laptop and Danny Kingshill on Cello (missing Satoko Fukuda on violin on this occasion).

This being The Spirit of Gravity we played up the laptop slightly more than usual for this chamber quintet.

T-Toe is Terry, he plays trombone and laptop Coming from a more breakbeat background he showcased the trombone slightly more than usual.

I know the name of this tune!

bemass are Bela Emerson from Brighton and Magnus Alexanderson and Sten Sandell from Sweden. This was their first ever show in the UK and went to extremes in just about every way.
