[no.signal]: Swedish Outsiders

A live hub for Swedish experimentation, curated by [no.signal] and commissioned by the Swedish Embassy sees the ICA theatre sprawling in a haze of the musical avant-garde - from avant-jazz and improvisation, to electronica, modern composition and progressive pop.

Acts include a world premiere saxophonist duet by free-jazz stalwarts Mats Gustafsson and Evan Parker, a performance from Roger Turner and Pat Thomas, haunting drones from sound artist Carl Michael Von Hausswolf and the UK premiere of Folke Rabe's 1967 electronic work, What??

Experimental pop trio Tape will be blending electronic with all sorts of acoustic and electric instruments and new Swedish sensations Wildbirds and Peacedrums play their hybrid of spiritual pop and ecstatic soul music.

A [no.signal] production, supported by Embassy of Sweden and partnered by The Wire magazine.

Please note: Unless otherwise indicated, admission to music events in the theatre is strictly for over 16s only, and admission to club nights in the bar is strictly for over 18s only. Photo identification may be requested as proof of age.
