Upcoming Events

Ben Vince, Mark Vernon, Cucina Povera

Ben Vince, Mark Vernon, Cucina Povera

Thursday 20th September

Ben Vince is a prolific saxophonist and composer who radically redefines the possibilities of the saxophone. Through extended technique, electronic processing and an open-eared approach to collaboration, Ben’s work spans free improvisation, DIY and dancefloor scenes in strikingly original style. He is building a reputation as a one of a kind live force who can veer from propulsive, full blast skronk outs to acoustically responsive ambience and is always in tune with the energy of a space. LISTEN
Following a recent collaboration with Joy O on Hessle Audio, and releases on on Blank Editions, CURL, and Depth of Decay, Ben’s latest LP Assimilation (Where To Now?) sees him broaden his horizons further, as he moves (in his own words) from ‘creator to vector, being bounced off by different forces’ with guest spots from the likes of Micachu, Rupert Clervaux, Valentina Magaletti and Merlin Nova. Assimilation is Optimo’s Album of the month at Monorail Music!
Mark Vernon is a Glasgow-based artist whose work exists on the fringes of sound art, music and broadcasting. At the core of his practice lies a fascination with the intimacy of the radio voice, environmental sound, obsolete media and the re-appropriation of found recordings. He incorporates these diverse elements into radiophonic compositions for broadcast, fixed media and live performances. LISTEN
Originally from Finland, Rossi brings an acute sense of space, surroundings, and practicality to her working practice, with each composition often relying on a limited sound palette to create deeply affecting messages which transcend language. Cucina Povera’s power is to communicate purely, often down to the solo-choir nature of Rossi’s multi-layered voice, an achingly beautiful instrument which has seems to have an innate spirituality in its grain. LISTEN

Tickets available here

3rd September, 7pm

Landon Reed (LA, USA)

Black Cat Revue (Glasgow, UK)

“Neo-Psychedelic Outlaws: Druggy drone-rock, repetitive driven melodies, snarling riffs and heavy-footed rhythms…”

The Kundalini Genie (Glasgow, UK)
The Kundalini Genie is a psychedelic, experimental rock ‘n’ roll band from Glasgow.

Stony Sugarskull (Berlin, DE/LA, USA)
Hailing from Berlin, Germany, Stony
Sugarskull (Landon Reed/bass, Reid Murray/drums, Monika Demmler/vox, guitar) play a gorgeously haunting and hypnotic
psychedelic rock that is both mysterious and hugely
enigmatic. Her ghostly sound is right at home with the
likes of The Warlocks, The Vacant Lots and Mazzy Star,
as it invokes images of things like a peyote-inspired
séance in a dark, candle strewn urban attic or an
aimless wander through a moonlit desert at three o’clock
in the morning (Record Crates United). Her unique vocal
style and delivery is not only playful, innocent, ironic, and
clever, but also serious, even spiritual. It’s very distinctive –
a kind of detached arty Velvets thing happening (Happy Beat Recordings).

Soup Zuppa

Soup Zuppa

Tuesday 21st August 7:30pm

Dedicated to creating synchronicities, serendipities and misunderstandings, Soup, Zuppa is a place for everyone interested in improvised and experimental music. Working with the premise that all mistakes can be integrated, we are interested in bringing together people from different backgrounds to experiment and improvise in an open atmosphere. Musical education is absolutely not necessary and we would encourage everyone who had one to forget as much of it as possible.

Groups of performers will be put together after a 20min Soup at the beginning of the evening in which all participants play simultaneously. If you would like to participate, please let us know how much space you will need and what equipment you will bring. We would like to ask all electronic musicians to bring their own speakers, as we won´t have a PA installed in the space and all participants will be located throughout the space.

Please send everything to soupcommazuppa@gmail.com at least one day before the event if you would like to play or contact us via our website www.soupzuppa.org

Suggested donation: 3£
