The acclaimed percussionist, producer and solo artist shares a spellbinding new video of a track from her new album with leading UK improvisers recorded live at Café OTO
In October 2022, Cafe OTO welcomed composer, percussionist, producer and instrument maker Bex Burch for a special two-day residency, presenting an intimate portrait of her core practice and special collaborations.
The first night Burch shared the stage with solo percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, a double Grammy Award winner, BAFTA nominee, recipient of the Polar Music Prize and the Companion of Honour; virtuoso double bassist John Edwards, whose staggering range of techniques and boundless musical imagination have redefined the possibility of the double bass and dramatically expanded its role; and Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser Owen Gardner. His work draws from a wide variety of music, from the traditional to the highly abstract, coalescing into a very personal and hypnotic style.
They are set to release a live recording of this singular encounter as Tangled Goodbye, it’s been produced by the quartet with titles chosen by Glennie. The album is released today 23 August on Vula Viel Records.
