Lukas Ligeti & support from Minotaur Shock
All Around You
With regular events throughout the autumn and into winter, All Around You is a season of sound performances, installations, talks, workshops and film events, featuring artists and musicians who utilise and respond to space and surroundings.
All Around You brings together some of the most respected international practitioners of sound art, locally based sonic adventurers and a group of Bristol venues and groups, with the aim of pushing deeper sonic experimentalism and awareness of the sounds of human surroundings. Presenting a broad range of activities and performances, the season also provides a context for discussion and learning with talks and workshops.

Transcending the boundaries of genre, composer-percussionist Lukas Ligeti, son of György Ligeti, has developed a musical style of his own that draws on Downtown New York experimentalism, contemporary classical music, jazz, electronica, and African styles.
Following rave reviews for recent release Afrikan Machinery (released on John Zorn's label Tzadik, one of the Wire's top albums of 2008), Ligeti presents a selection of his compositions for solo electronic marimba which reveal an inspiring new take on the dialogue between African and Western music, achieved through ingenious use of sampling and music technology.
"a new generation of musical Superman - a globally minded, technologically adept, technically sophisticated composer who also happens to be a virtuoso performer and accomplished improviser." LA Times
Minotaur Shock has been making divinely eccentric electronica since the turn of the millennium. Rhythmic but equally intricate, beautiful and moving, it never lacks in the well-honed sense of playfulness that hallmarks the Minotaur Shock sound. Performing solo with drums, electronics and a host of other instruments - this will be very much a ‘live’ performance.
