Herschel 36
16th May, The Bongo Club.
"Avantronica” duo Herschel 36 thrive on pure improvisation, drawing on their jazz instincts but revelling instead in a world of glitchy electronica, break beats and noisy soundscapes.
Each performance is a journey in the dark with no preconceived material, bringing together the drum skills of Stuart Brown and keyboard talents of Paul Harrison to create organically evolving sonic nebulae of spiralling analog colours, jazz rhythms and heaving atonal harmonies.
Dialogues Festival is very pleased to bring Herschel 36 to Edinburgh for the first time - a project that we have had our eyes on for ages awaiting this possibility...
