Concert: Nina Garcia / Lucas Wood

Some of you may know her solo as Mariachi, but now Nina Garcia is releasing an album under her own name, 'Bye Bye Bird', released on Ideologic Organ, and joining Murailles Music for her stage shows.

Now a key figure on the edges of experimental and noise music, of which she is one of the most radical and welcoming, she stands up to a bare stage, confronts a dented amp, squares up her electric guitar, and turns each concert into a searing, shattering frenzy. It's staggering.

"Garcia shapes the feedback beautifully, as silvery streaks trickle over a billowing low end, while her sweeping sends the room vibrations back through the guitar in a complete communion of tone." - The Wire

Since 2015, Nina has been researching and creating around the electric guitar, halfway between improvised music and noise.

Her set up is reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, an amp with which she sculpts sound and delves into chaos to bring out the unheard-of.

Her concerts draw audiences into an immersive sonic space where power and fragility intersect with communicative intensity. In just a few years, she has attracted the attention of numerous international stages.

Her solo work focuses on gesture and research into the instrument, its resonances, its limits, its extensions, its impurities, its audible corners: working with or against it, containing it or letting it sound, supporting it or assault it.

A duo rather than a solo, it stuns with its blend of technical mastery and total freedom. A convergence of wildness and tenderness with her instrument, a tense corps à corps between two vibrant souls for a music and choreography of raw poetry.

Also on the bill - London College of Communication sound art graduate Lucas Yoshimura Wood.

Lucas Yoshimura Wood, born in London and half Japanese, thinks about and makes noise. They perform playing with no input and feedback techniques as well as creating installations exploring the relationship between noise and moving image.

They use improvisation and lofi recording in their work to evoke themes centred around time, memory, light and dreams.
