On Thursday 6th October, 2011, Jo Quail will be performing her solo album From The Sea in its entirety along with several guest musicians, as well as premiering her new work The Pilbara EP.
Further information from promoter Chaos Theory:
“After gracing our night Candied Nonsense several times last year, it gives us an immense amount of pleasure to spend an evening with this exceptional cellist and composer, who uses acoustic and electric cello, electronics and loops to create intense atmospheric music rich in layers and ripe with inspiration.
After playing and writing for several years in ambient post-rock band SonVer, Jo Quail has spent recent months composing her own inspirational material, resulting in the album From The Sea.
Following Jo’s recent tour of Australia, this evening she will present the world premiere of The Pilbara EP, a new work triggered by the dramatic visual images of the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia. To accompany her, music award-winning Australian film maker Michael Fletcher has put together a film of this beautiful region and Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year, Christian Fletcher, has contributed five signed mounted canvasses of images from his recent book ’52 weeks on’ – images and stories from The Pilbara desert for display and sale this evening.
The phenomenal album From The Sea will be performed by Jo Quail and an array of special guests including:
Roger O’Donnell, piano (The Cure)
Matt Howden, violin (Sieben)
Tallulah Rendall, voice
Ruban Byrne, guitar and bass (SonVer, Evi Vine, Nadine Khouri)
Al Richardson, drums (SonVer, Evi Vine, Nadine Khouri)
Will Connor, percussion (SonVer, Vultures Quartet)
Jos Pijnappel, viola, (Haystax, Elvis Costello, Toni Braxton, Romeo, Roland Gift/ Fine Young Cannibals)
Mohan Rana, poet
Amy Richardson-Impey, a top world ranking aerial artist and Miss Pole Dance New Zealand, will perform, on a freestanding pole, her own choreographed routine during the evening.
This will be a true fusion of musicians from disciplines including rock, experimental, post rock, classical and alternative, as well as a celebration of performance art, visual arts and culture.
For the traditional and adventurous alike, this will be a rare opportunity to be part of a truly unique evening.
FREE entry, donations welcome.
