Long-time collaborators in numerous constellations Lotte Anker and Fred Frith join forces with violinist Gabby Fluke-Mogul in this new trio formation of three eminent and idiosyncratic musicians/improvisers/composers.
Adventurous music exploring the now in everything from noise and sound textures, powerful expressions to fragmented or minimalist sonic spaces, glimpses of melodies, memory and silence.
Fred Frith
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith has been making noise of one kind or another for almost 50 years, starting with the iconic rock collective Henry Cow, which he co-founded with Tim Hodgkinson in 1968. Fred is best known as a pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, song-writer, and composer for film, dance and theater. Through bands like Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet and Cosa Brava, he has stayed close to his roots in rock and folk music while branching out in many other directions. His compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from Arditti Quartet and the Ensemble Modern to Concerto Köln and Galax Quartet, from rock bands Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Ground Zero to the Glasgow Improvisers’ Orchestra. Fred has performed works by composers Gavin Bryars, Alvin Curran, George Lewis, René Lussier, Meredith Monk, Terry Riley, and Christian Wolff; improvised with Paolo Angeli, Lotte Anker, Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill, Chris Cutler, Joëlle Léandre, Miya Masaoka, Phil Minton, Ikue Mori, Butch Morris, Evan Parker, Zeena Parkins, and Camel Zekri and recorded on albums by -for example- Brian Eno, Robert Wyatt, The Swans, Violent Femmes, John Zorn.
Gabby Fluke-Mogul
is a New York based violinist, improviser, composer, educator, organizer, & doula. fluke-mogul weaves within the threads of avant & free jazz with deep roots in improvised & experimental music. Their playing has been described as “embodied, visceral, & virtuosic” & “the most striking sound in improvised music in years…” gabby is humbled to have collaborated with Nava Dunkelman, Joanna Mattrey, Ava Mendoza, Fred Frith, Luke Stewart, Zeena Parkins, Tcheser Holmes, Mara Rosenbloom, William Parker, & Pauline Oliveros among many other musicians, poets, dancers, & visual artists. fluke-mogul is a Roulette 2023 Jerome Artist in Residence. “The way they construct sound with their violin is ageless. They are sounds built from the ancient geology beneath us; from shards of broken cosmic glass; from hidden corners within their heart and mind…fluke-mogul plays the moment to its fullest amplitude” (Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis).
