“Once I have those parameters, I can reconfigure the body and the instrument so it kind of runs itself….
“The word I use sometimes is ‘interface.’ So if you start thinking about creativity as this thing that happens between surfaces, that’s interesting in a way that the idea of the single auteur is much less interesting…. And as an artist you can do interesting things by kind of shifting you position within that boundary.” [Listen to the rest…]

To celebrate British Science Week 2022 music promoters Jazz North East are proud to present ‘The Sound of Science.’ With additional support from Newcastle University’s Faculty of Science and Gosforth Civic Theatre, audiences are welcomed to experience a series of concerts and discussions drawing connections between science and music.
Programmed events will specifically explore the interplay of chemistry, physics, ecology and biology, and the ways in which these disciplines have been employed by, and communicated through, composers and musicians. We will hear from 28 musicians, artists and scientists across the four day event.
“From climate change to vaccines, the importance of science to the way we live has never been clearer. Its relationship to music however is rarely explored and it is for that reason we have assembled those working in and between these two seemingly disparate fields. Our events shine a spotlight on the role of science within music composition and improvisation, with a view to inspiring audiences new to one or both subjects.
“Presented and discussed through music making practice, this project aims to increase understanding of science and its social implications, and build audience confidence in discussing these issues. Inviting all ages and every level of expertise, the festival will spark new ideas around how science and music can be communicated and combined.” — Wesley Stephenson (Festival Producer)

Hear the improvisers Han-earl Park, Lara Jones and Pat Thomas guide, and be guided by, sounds—map Lost Inland Stations; evoke phantom cavernous clubs; coax Sleeping Giants to dance a new dance—the shifts and signals in the real-time networks and relationships of interaction.

I’m also performing in Newcastle and Leeds, and, with rit. and Una Lee, in Dublin, Letterkenny, Derry and Belfast. See the performance diary for details.
Expect “a cyborg virtuosity in which mind, body and artifact collide noisily” (Han-earl Park), “tempestuous, syllable-timed glossolalia” (rit.) and “sounds, stories and sensations” (Una Lee).
Coming up in March 2022: performances by Han-earl Park, rit. and Una Lee in Dublin, Letterkenny, Derry and Belfast. See the performance diary for up-to-date info.

This Thursday and Friday (January 6 and January 7, 2022): QLH (Quentin Tolimieri: organ; Luca Marini: drums; and Han-earl Park: guitar) with guest artist Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen (saxophone) perform in Berlin.
It’s been far, far too long since I played with Louise, and I’m excited to be performing with her again (and you should be too)!
Above video from the performance by Han-earl and Louise with the late Michael Evans, Downtown Music Gallery, New York.
I’m very sorry to announce that, due to circumstances beyond my control, I have had to cancel my appearance at cuba cultur, Münster this Sunday (December 19, 2021). QLH with Quentin Tolimieri and Luca Marini will still be performing, but with the guitar chair occupied instead by the awesome Jasper Stadhouders. Go catch this one-time-only trio. [Get tickets…]
I had also due to help behind-the-scenes at the launch event for mumei, the profoundly curious and adventurous music journal edited by Ryoko Akama and Heather Frasch. That event is taking place on Saturday (December 18) at KM28, Berlin. Should be a fascinating evening; please check it out if you’re able. [Reserve seat…]
