This Friday May 1st sees a rare screening of “Liquid Music” at Tate Britain’s Late at the Tate event. Produced by Jon Wozencroft for Christian Fennesz’s live performances during 2001-2004, the film has so far been impossible to master onto DVD. The soundtrack is from one of Fennesz’s finest performances, in Brighton, from the Touch tour of 2001.

As part of the night’s theme, “Polish Connections”, artist Janek Simon will perform an “optical intervention” in parallel to the original footage. There will be two screenings, at 7.30pm and 8.30pm, in the Duffield Room. Anybody interested in attending is advised to get there early, as space is limited and admission is free.

The Guardian newspaper have made next Tuesday’s performance by Fennesz at Ether 2009 one of their “Pick of the Week” recommendations.

They write: “…guitarist Christian Fennesz treats his instrument so it sounds like pretty much anything apart from a guitar. Fizzing, atmospheric stuff…”

Touch presents, live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, featuring Fennesz, Rosy Parlane and CM von Hausswolff will take place on Tuesday 21st April, 7.30pm, as part of the Ether Festival 2009.

A day before, at 6.30pm on Monday 20th April in the Purcell Room at the QEH, Touch’s Jon Wozencroft and Mike Harding will be hosting a Q&A session with the artists. Nb: the Monday event is FREE – so, if you are in London please do come!
