Double Bill: EFG London Jazz Festival

Pseudologia Fantastica is a mixed media, performance piece of multiple short compositions that include spoken word, song, electronic fx, hand percussion, pre-recorded soundscapes & compositions against a backdrop of striking images.

Christine Tobin is an Irish vocalist/composer moved to London to attend the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and later studied Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths. With 12 highly acclaimed albums under her own name and four major awards including a British Composer Award, Christine is now embarking on a brand new artistic direction with her 13th release, Pseudologia Fantastica (an early version premiered at the New Music Dublin festival last year).

SONGS is a collaborative album by vocalist/poet Brian Eley and sound artist/producer Ashley Wales (known for Spring Heel Jack). Rather than traditional singing, the project features Eley’s spoken-word recitations of his own romantic and introspective poetry, accompanied by Wales’s atmospheric, electronic sounds.
