He'll be joined on stage by a stellar line-up, featuring three of his favourite long-term musical collaborators: Mandhira de Saram (violin), Ruth Goller (bass and voice) and Sebastian Rochford (drums).

Our 2025 season gets underway on Saturday 11th January with a brand new duo project from Loose Tubes alumni, Mark Lockheart (saxophones & clarinets) and John Parricelli (guitar).

These two seasoned collaborators will be exploring evocative soundscapes, worldly grooves, original tunes, and say they might even throw in a well-known jazz standard for good measure!

Join us in the intimate surroundings of Cambridge Unitarian Hall to relish a musical conversation between two masters of their instruments. Doors 7.30pm, music 8pm.

Sunday 26th January: Atkins/Macedo/Moore & De Schryver/Lash

First SOUNDHUNT of 2025 kicking off with a trio and duo. We’re delighted to welcome Matt Atkins (percussion and objects), John Macedo (electronics), and NO Moore (guitar), an established trio who use their chosen instruments to explore the quieter corners of improvised sound.

We’re also excited to present Cambridge-based violinist Elien De Schryver in a duo with Dominic Lash on double bass. Elien has been seen (and heard!) in more electronically-based settings at recent gigs in Cambridge presented by the likes of Crushing Death and Grief and Heart of Noise, so we’re looking forward to hearing her in the context of a completely acoustic duo.

With N.O. Moore & Elien De Schryver

💌 Received some post !! On 11 Jan, I’ll join City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to premiere this new piece, conducted by Ilan Volkov. It portrays five magical siren-like characters (me!) as they each control and manipulate the sea (the orchestra!) in strange and powerful ways. The five movements follow the different forces that these mystical beings can exert on the water: the ability to control the tides, to make the waves dance, to pacify the swells, to create and destroy life within the water and finally to make the sea sing. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait! It’s my biggest piece to date and I’m very proud of it 😊 Huge thanks to Ash Mistry for the beautiful editing & printing as always, and also Colin Alexander for all his support, help and encouragement over the past few months ♥️ Birmingham friends, I would love to see you there on 11 Jan ~ or if anyone fancies a little trip to Birmingham, I’d also love to see you there!
