Hi Everyone,

Please feel very welcome to attend the next Burning Harpsichord event

premiered three new works last week, and my unveil yet another one
by myself at this event!)

As usual, it's at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, Doors 7pm / Onstage

as well as the links below. This is the last BH of the year, and the
last sund gig as well, so please join us as we turn the corner on our
first year.

See you then,

Paella

Paella is a new music percussion ensemble combining traditional
percussion instruments
with found objects and electronics. The
ensemble includes Patrick Keenan, Len Wiltshire, and Kris Elliot,
joined occasionally by Bill Thompson. Performing works by John
Cage, David Revill, Brent Fariss, Travis Weller, and Bill Thompson,
the group seeks to explore the horizons of experimental music
opened by Cage and others.


Mark Wastell (tam tam, Indian harmonium)

Mark Wastell has been active in contemporary music
since 1995, making his initial concerts with the trio
IST (with Simon H. Fell and Rhodri Davies) and Chris

Burn's Ensemble. He is currently a member of a number
of leading ensembles including The Sealed Knot (with
Rhodri Davies and Burkhard Beins) and +minus (with
Graham Halliwell and Bernhard Günter). Mark has
contributed to the free improvisation scene in Britian

through his perfomances, record shop sound 323, and
his publishing activity. He is constantly exploring
new territory with
his music.

Rhodri Davies (Harp)
Rhodri Davies is a harpist who confronts traditional

concepts of the harp through his use of preparations,
detuned, bowed and e-bowed strings. Much of Davies'
work explores the contradictory and complimentary flux
between composition and improvisation. He plays with

many groups that reflect this interest, notably, IST
(with Mark Wastell and Simon Fell) and Assumed
Possibilities (with Chris Burn, Phil Durrant and Mark
Wastell). Influenced by live electronics and
music-concrete he is particularly interested in

exploring noise, silence, texture and abstract sound
on his acoustic instrument.
